Hello Friends of Mary-Jean,

This is to let those of you who have not heard that Mary-Jean went home to Jesus.
Early Friday morning, August 3rd, she suffered a traumatic bleed from which she
could not recover.

At that time, following her wishes, her body was sustained until Sunday in order
for organ donation to be completed. Even after death, she continued to exhibit
the loving and generous spirit that we all adore.

Mary-Jean will be remembered in a memorial service sometime in September.

We thank you all for your love, prayers and support during this difficult time.
