Lost another great friend last night. I was part of the Thursday night gang at Baywood. She always said she was my wife in reserve if and when I ever became available again although it never did happen after my divorce.
R.I.P. Wifey Reserve!! You will be missed and loved by many. Glad to have known you. We shared a lot of great times. My thoughts and prayers go out to her entire family.
I am saddened that I will not be able to attend the funeral as I will be out of town this weekend.

Mary Jane was a dear friend. We lived in the same neighborhood and raised our kids together. Mary Jane loved her family first, last and always. Any child that came in contact with her was loved unconditionally. She was a good woman. Joe and Dawn, Matt and Pat and their families, I am so very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you always.

I met Mary Jane when we were in high school. She was my wife's best friend, "Nancy Lee Korting", she was in contact with her entire life until she died in 2013. She thought the world of her. I have many memories of her, as did my wife. I'm sorry to hear of your loss, as I feel your pain. Robert Allen Pufahl

Vibrant and Delightful! Those are the first two words that come to mind when I think of you. Oh My Dear Friend....I know that God crossed our paths at a very integral time in our lives. We became friends of the heart...sharing in lives most difficult moments and enjoying each others gift and talents. One thing I can say for sure and write this as the epitaph of her life: She loved her children and grand children and great grandchildren more that life itself. She gave unselfishly to her family. She loved much!
I am so glad I got to know you, M.J. I will see you in Heaven!
