Mary Jane: I still remember the day like it was yesterday, when i met you and Pat Reilly at the same time.  Linda Wright was quick to introduce us at Pat's aunts house and we immediately became friends.That was about 1997. You all graciously supported my futile attempt of being an auctioneer,and some how i eventually drifted away. I have always been a shy person....and i now regret not stopping by( like i use to often do) to renew our friendship,  because we had much in common ....you were one of those true people that have a kind heart and always helping people. Happy trails! see you again.

Mary Jane sure will be missed.Your cheerful ways.   always being positive to your friends an neighbors R.I.P.

We were friends for so many years.  I miss you already.  I'll never forget our trip to Florida to visit your folks.  We had so much fun.  Our craft sessions and antique buying and selling were so enjoyable.  I love you very much.

Condolences to Fred, Mary Ellen, and Mary Jane's family and friends. We met through a mutual friend, Pat Reilly, who died earlier this year. MJ and I kept in touch and would reminisce about Pat and our friendship with her. MJ was a very generous and compassionate person who helped many people.

I will miss Mary Jane's cheerfulness and friendliness she always shared.  Last May she was very kind by assisting me with my sister, Pat Reilly who past away.  Fred and Mary Ellen, you have my thoughts and prayers.

MJ,  It is hard to believe that you have passed away--I know how much pain you were in for the past two years, and pray that you are now at peace and no longer in any pain.  You became a much kinder and more compassionate person in your later years and I enjoyed our many phone conversations.  Only wish there was more that could have been done for you to ease your pain.  God Bless you, and I will always remember you--Love, Dotty and John

YOU WERE A GREAT FRIEND AND YOU WILL BE SADLY MISSED WE ALL ENJOYED SPENDING TIME WITH YOU AND CHATTING ON THE PHONE . THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR US  RHONDA,MELINDA, KALENE ROBERTSON

I always looked forward to seeing MJ when I visited Contoocook in the summer.She would be selling stuff at their annual yard sale. She was a very caring and giving person and she will be missed in many circles of life. My thoughts and prayers are with Fred and Mary Ellen at this sad time.

I am very sorry to hear of her passing. She was a wonderful, giving person.
