"The world will be a little less bright without Mary Jo's laugh, thoughtfulness, sense of adventure and her love of family. When she arrived in heaven I am sure she was lovingly greeted by her family, including her Aunt Lexie. She will be missed on earth but welcome in heaven. Prayers for healing and comfort to Allen, the children and their families. Thank you God for letting me be a small part of Mary Jo's life."
