Hello, Your mom and I were best friends all through St. Anthony's.
I was thinking of her last year, and wondering what happened to her. A friend recently told me about her passing. I am sorry that we didn't get to reconnect.

Dear Family, I will truly miss Mary Jo, I am from Norwalk and seen her every Friday and prayed and gave her communion helped her with the 3 quilt's and years back my husband and I would take her to mass and shopping. As you see we have spent a lot of time and really enjoyed Mary Jo. Her main subject that she talked about was the bible and her kids, she loved you dearly. God Bless and comfort you, with Sympathy and prayers. Carol & Dave Knoblauch
