John, I pray that the Lord will comfort you at this difficult time. It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen either you or Mary Jane, but we have fond memories of her when we were doing ABF activities together. May the Lord bless you and your family and give you peace in the days and years ahead. It’s wonderful to know that she is now experiencing the joy of the Lord forever.
