Sorry to hear about Mary Jane’s passing, she was a wonderful woman. I feel truly honored to have known and loved her as family, to have had her as a wonderful neighbor all of my life, and knowing her as a very close friend to my late Granny, Vera Gregg. I will cherish every moment that I got to spend getting to know her, hearing her stories, and learing valuable life lessons from her. My heart goes out to you and your entire family during this time of loss. May God watch over you and yours during this time as well. God Bless.
So very sorry to hear of Mary Janes passing. Although I had not seen her in years I can remember stoping at the store and visiting as a child with my mother Mary Arthurs sister. May she rest in peace as she was a wonderful person.
Much Love, Linda
