  • My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Aunt Mary Jo at this time. Always loved her and Uncle Marvin lots. Sorry I am away at this time and unable to attend but all of the family and Mary Jo will be in my thoughts as you say your goodbyes. Really glad that I had the opportunity to have a phone visit with her not long ago. Thank you so much Donna for touching base with me. Kenny Galbraiths Karen from the Poconos, in PA.
