Our condolences to the Piotrowski and Ross families at this sad time.Didnt get to see you guys a lot but Wendy did get to chat with Mary Jane a few times and will always remember her brave outlook on her journey ahead. Another page in History has turned. The Harty Families.
Deepest sympathies to the family. Mary Jane was a strong woman and fought a long and courageous battle. She now is at peace.
My sincerest sympathies to all the family.
I knew her parents when I lived at Manyberries and was looking forward to get to know Mary Jane as well.
I guess God knows best.
She will not suffer any more.

My deepest condolences to Mary Jane’s family. I bowled with Mary Jane for quite a few years on the “Bowling Angels”. She was always a joy to be around. Wed. morning ladies league was never quite the same without her. May you rest in peace Mary Jane! You truly are a Bowling Angel!
I am very grateful I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Mary Jane. She was a very realistic, and very positive lady. She worked hard in all areas of her life. She spoke so kindly of her family, and obviously loved them so much. Her grandchildren had a very special place in her heart. I always enjoyed our visits. We will treasure the beautiful blankets she made for Emily always, and fondly remember a very beautiful person who made them for us. My sympathy to all the family.
I am remembering the fun and laughter we shared together; the things Mary Jane helped me to learn about sewing; cooking and raising kids…; but most of all I remember being made to feel welcome and supported when I most needed it…thank you. I am grateful she was and remains a part of my life. I cannot imagine the loss you are feeling, please know we send our love and support even though we can’t be with you at this difficult time. Sincerely, Gerrianne, Jim and Dana Lee Ross
