So sorry for your loss
You will be dearly missed by the many lives you’ve touched. Through the years and distance we didn’t cross paths much, if at all, but I will never forget all the “Jennifer Ann’s” you said when the 3 of us got in trouble or sitting down to an amazing meal at your house. You are at peace now and that should bring much comfort to those that love you.
Losing Mary is a ver hard loss. Thinking of you all.

Sorry to hear of the sad news. My prayers go out to you and your family.
I am greatly saddened by the loss of my dearly loved cousin, Mary Jo. Regrettably i did not know
her late husband or her children. As life takes each of us in different directions I did leave wonderful
Omaha in 1965. And I will always treasure the gathering we did have when my four cousins including
Mary Jo and Jo Ann, Cindy and Monica (and other dear cousins as well when they attended a special
wedding in Boulder) . I do have several photos of this event on my book shelf . They carry wonderful
memories which are cherished.
Please know that my prayers are with everyone of you.
May Mary Jo Rest In Peace.
Your cousin Maria
Even though she was only a few months older than I am I looked up to her. Through all the years Mary Jo and all the family were there whenever anyone needed anything. There’s a hole in all of our lives that can’t be filled. My sincere condolences to the family.
To the family and friends of Mary Jo, I was a Mercy High School class mate of Mary Jo. My condolences and my prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. Mary Jo I’m sure will be missed as she touched the hearts of so many. I pray that God holds you all in the palm of His hand.
It is always sad to hear that a classmate has died, Mercy 1968. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
