    I’m so sorry on the passing of Mary Jane. I went from Kindergarten through 12th grade with her. Always such a sweet person, periodically we would run across each other and it was always like no time had passed. Mary Jane was a person what you saw was her, always a smile on her face even during ups and downs in life. I’ve truly missed seeing her around and about and had I known she was in Eudora I surely would’ve looked her up. Again so sorry for your loss.

    Mary was a beautiful soul who helped those around her during her stay in Medical Lodge of Eudora. She looked out and spoke up for those who could not speak for themselves. Her personality and sense of humor engaged all of us in her presence. She was a natural relationship builder and made friends everywhere she was. Mary will be missed.
