    To Paul, Phil, Joel, and Greg...I was so sorry to hear of Mary Jane's passing. I send my love and prayers at this time. I will always remember the good times with your family on Newtown Street. As a teenager, I used to do your Mom's hair on Saturday mornings. She would sit in the driveway (never in the house) and I would pin-curl her hair. Then I would come back after it dried and comb it out. I am confident you are with Junie, Chris and maybe even my Mom and Dad now. Rest in peace, Mary Jane.

    I had the pleasure of being Mary's beautician for many years...she held a very special place in my heart.We could share thoughts between us, and in many ways helped eachother along. Her and Neil would take my son when he was young up to their house to shoot some pool, my son thought they were the "coolest" people!! Well, Mary dear...you are finally with Neil. I will miss you, but one day I will see you again.
