Just heard that Jesus greeted your Mom yesterday.
Sorry for your hearts.. Can’t imagine.
But completely happy at the thought of what she might be doing right now.
We’ll be praying for your peace and understanding.
Mary Joy was a wonderful woman. I loved her kindness, generous spirit and handwritten letters. She was thoughtful and a wonderful community member and great neighbor. I am happy that I had the opportunity to get to know her, and I will miss seeing her. My love and prayers are with her children and grandchildren.
Thoughts and prayers are with Mary Joy’s family and friends. I attended St. Margaret Mary School when she did. We’ve been friends all this years.
