To the Family of Mary Jane Just wanted to let all of you know how much it saddened me to read of your mother’s death. I met MaryJane while volunteering with her for the McLaren Auxillary. It truly made my day when they had us work together. I always looked forward to seeing and working with her.She seemed to have a knack for making a bad day suddenly turn the other way. Peace be with all of you, Phyllis Gilbert
