Mary Jane you eere the creative best of 1979 1980 in Detroit,I met you and your pals at The Rocky Horror Picture Show in that little theater i dont remeber the name i became your Vidal Sassoon haircut client always basement of your parents house. I temember like it was the day you announced disco was dead and punk was on the rise. Have you heard of the police? You got to hear the police! Soon Roxanne was on the radio and Mary Jane was leading the fashionable charge. you instigated my very first pictures and even had us doing a film for some reason. My very first ever acting modeling job was with you and your creative crew fooling around. Sending you love angel, thinking of you with a huge smile. God bless you and your family

Tom, Rose, Grace, Michael and Elena Like my sister, Grace, I last saw Mary Jane at the reunion in St. Louis in 1998. And I saw her on camera in the video of Sam and Josie's 50th anniversary. They were very brief encounters but I'll always remember her as being beautiful, open and very caring. Your loss is great but she now has everlasting joy in the arms of the Lord. Cousin, Jan (ette)

Mike and Elena, you are in my thoughts and prayers during this very sad time. I pray the love and care of your family and friends will help you cope. I have four beautiful memories of MaryJane one of a summer visit to her home in Detroit when I was in grade school (I treasured the music book given to me); one of another visit with her in Florida just before high school (she was driving then which I thought was really neat); one of a backyard picnic in St. Louis at Uncle Joe and Aunt Louise's house (Mike and MaryJane wore St. Louis tee-shirts, and Elena spoon fed my son John while he sat in his stroller ); and the Valenti family reunion (dancing in a family circle, and walking in a park near a river). These times were too rare and too brief, but the memories will stay with me always. May all your beautiful memories bring you comfort. Love, Grace Derda (daughter of the late Uncle Louie and Aunt Katie in St. Louis).

Mike and Elena, I am so saddened to hear of Mary Jane's passing. We shared a long history and in many ways were more family than lifelong friends. She was a kind and gentle soul who will be missed not only by Paul and myself but also by everyone else she has touched. God bless you in your time of sorrow.

I too knew Mary from the colorectalk boards. Mary was always checking in on us, and never truly let on how difficult things must have been. I loved her sense of humor. My deepest sympathies to her loving family. We will all miss Mary so very much.

Mike, Elena, and the CusumanoPapi family...my deepest condolences go out to you. Even though we had not seen one another in a while, Cooch has always had a very special place in my heart, and the hearts of the rest of the Welsh family. I am so sorry for your loss, and will keep you all in my prayers. Much love, Deb Welsh

Dear Tom and Elena and the rest of the family; I last saw Mary Jane at the family reunion in St. Louis back in 1997 (I think it was). Such a beautiful and thoughtful woman. Of course, I thought I would get to see her again one of these years, but it is not to be. She is with Sam and Josie, my parents (Larry and Pat) and all her loved ones( and those who love her), who preceded her to heaven. Rest in peace, Mary Jane. May perpetual light shine upon you. Cousin Grace (Kennedy)

Just to correct my previous message which should have read Tom, Rose, Grace, Michael and Elena (and then continues as the previous memory). Sorry for the error.

Mary - I feel that I got to know you pretty well over these last few months and enjoyed the phone calls we shared and just yacking with each other. It was fun for me to hear about the Detroit area - where I was born and started life but a place I remember so little of. Thank you for that Mary. As silly as it seems, you gave me a connection to a part of me that no one else has been able to. You were and still are an inspiration to me and all the others on our board. I know these last few months were hard for you and you missed Pammy terribly. You fought so hard Mary and no one ever heard you complain even though you certainly had a right to. Cancer is such an insidious disease and you stood up to it with such dignity, grace and courage. I'm sorry that I didn't call you a week or so sooner - it's probably something I will always regret. Savor every moment in Heaven taking in all the beauty and love that God has surrounded you with. Dance with Carolyn and Pam as you listen to Jorge's wonderful music knowing that someday we will finally meet! To Mike and Elena, you had a wonderful wife and mother who was so special to so many of us. I don't know if I can ever thank you enough for sharing her with us. She was a special woman who never complained and, at least to me, always seemed to take in stride whatever life threw at her and she did it with class and humor. Rest in peace dear Mary. I will miss you and your special way that you had to make everyone feel welcome and important. Hugs and love, Jaynee

Mary Jane was one of those people who you just wanted to get to know and to be with. I guess you could say she had one of those magnetic personalities. So many fond memories I have of her. Now the world seems dimmer and emptier without her in it. Be at peace with the Angels M.J. No more pain and body born anew. Rest well my friend, till we meet again.

My condolences go to Mary Jane's family. While I only knew her thru Jorge's colorectalk. I will miss her and Pammy Sue. They were like sisters and had so much to offer colorectalk. Mary fought a brave battle and could always see the good. God be with her family at this time. Lee

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. ~ you will be missed, rest with the Lord.

I remember a time Vicki, Renee, Theresa and I where kids and we wanted to surprise mom with a birthday cake, and the frosting we made turned out black. You came over...laughed at the black frosted cake and said I can make one that is better. You tossed the black frosted cake into the trash and then made a new cake, and put chocolate frosting on it, decorated it nicely. It was perfect, except for one thing, you forgot to take the cake off the towel before you frosted and decortated it. Or the Holloween you and a friend came to our house dressed a aliens and scared the living daylights out of me. These are just a couple of the memories I still have amoung many of them. Rest in Peace Aunt Mary Jane. We will all miss you.

Bless those who mourn, eternal God, with the comfort of your love that they may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful, their days enriched with friendship, and their lives encircled by your love. Amen. Mike and Elena you will be in my prayers. {{{{{ Hugs }}}}}
