    Grandma Manuwal was a very sweet lady. I will always remember her when I put out the Campbell’s ornaments.

    So sorry to hear of Mary Jane’s passing. Thoughts and prayers to her family and many friends. Mary and John were my next door neighbors as I was growing up and they were the best. Many good and fun times with them and their neices Dawn and Collen when they came and stayed at Mary’s house. I will always remember the yummy cookies Mary Jane would bake right up till the time she just couldn’t do it any more. Mary Jane was a sweet and kind lady who will be missed by many. RIP Mary Jane!

    Sorry to hear of Mary Janes passing. Many times I would reminisce about the summers when Dawn and Collen would come up to stay at John, Mary’s and we would have lots of fun. I’ll never forget the homemade cookies and candies she made. RIP and I know your happy being with your loved ones.

    Mary Jane was such a good soul. She always had a great smile and a fun laugh. Was interested in knowing about my family and what was happening at the church. She loved her family and was thankful for every connection and loved showing her pictures and their activities. Our shared history of being Parkview grads was always important. She was so proud of her nursing heritage and did her best to keep me informed of alumni connections.
    Mary Jane has been ready for some time and had made all her preparations. I was blessed to know her. Love you, Mary Jane!

    Praying for all of you during these difficult days. Mary Jane was a terrific, loving lady. Her faith and love were genuine. She always sent newspaper clippings to my grandchildren upon accomplishments they earned. You are missed, Mary Jane, but your home is heaven.

    I just found out last Sunday about Mary Jane’s passing. She was a very dear friend & we talked on the phone every 2-3 weeks. We met while working at Pilgrim Manor in the 80’s. Always worked evening shift & she requested to always work on my weekends so we could work together. Love you, Mary Jane. Your friends always, Sally & Ron Drudge
