I was so sorry to hear of the passing of my dear cousin, Mary Jane. She was a good friend and inspiration to me and to those who knew her well She was taken too soon and will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies and fervent prayers are with her immediate family as the cope with this loss.
May God rest her soul.
