    I am so incredibly saddened by the loss of Mary Jo. She was such a friend, not just to me, but to so many people. Mary Jo was a joyful person who has left us much too soon. Our neighborhood will never be the same, and she will be sorely missed.

    I feel so terribly, terribly bad about losing you and prayed day and night for god to give you more time with us. You leave with me many wonderful memories -- our neighborhood pizza and pool parties, working with you on neighborhood landscaping projects, and just chatting with you when you's stop by whne you'd see me working in the yard. You were a wondeful friend.
