    To Mary Janes family and friends, I send my deepest sympathies for your loss of an amazing woman. I have very fond memories of family gatherings and spending time with her. She was always such a kind and caring woman. May God take her into his loving fold and keep her safe there with him until we all meet once again. (I am Dave Snell’s son {Jeffrey’s} Mother)

    Mary Jane must have been a very special person because her son Gary (my brother-in-law) is awesome. I wish comfort to all her loved ones.
