Rest In Peace, my dear friend.💖
May our Great God of Comfort bring you peace during this time. My folks were friends with Mary Jane and John many years ago. As families we vacationed together in Canada a few summers. I later worked with Mary Jane at the Old Tavern. I always remember her smiling and laughing. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’ll always remember her smile at family picnics in Edinboro. Our thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry to hear that Mary Jane has passed away.
May God open his arms to Great Mary Jane keep her safe and comfort her, at this time.
Amen
