Mary Jo I don't even know where to start. We did everything together. Every morning at 7:15 you were at my front door. We hung out til around 6 . Than went for a walk later. Every weekend we hung out at the lake. Besides our texting and calling in between. You were my best friend my sister and my mom. I will miss you like crazy. Just remember how much I love you.

Mary Jo, you were an absolute blessing to anyone who knew you. You were a 2nd mom to all of us. You were always there when we needed anything or anyone. You were the best great aunt to my girls who will forever be grateful for the time you guys shared. We will continue to share good memories & laughs over the amazing time we always had together. I hope you are giving grandma and grandpa hugs from all of us & enjoying your time with them again ❤️
