I am grieving deeply over the loss of Mary Jo. She was so full of fun, optimism, life. My heart goes out to Paul, to Chrissie and her husband Ryan, to Nancy Militello and her family, to Marty Butler, to Nancy Gonzalez and of course to Elvia Gonzalez, Paul’s wonderful mother. I will be praying for you all and for Mary Jo. May God’s wonderful light shine upon her and comfort you all. Tom Gallagher
My thoughts and prayers are with the Gonzalez family. I will miss seeing you at Sunday mass, and Mary Jo giving me updates on one of my favorite kindergartners, Chrissie. Sincerely, Fran Hudson
Mary Jo was always so bright and chipper with her bright red lipstick and smile! I still have such fun memories of our PEO yard sale and the massive amounts of items to try and sell! We ended up giving it away towards the end and I know Paul was quite relieved that he wouldn’t have to store box springs, matresses and loads of clothes!! She is an inspriation to all of us for her courage and determination to soldier on in the battle! Peace be with you always, my friend. Kit
I having been praying for Mary Jo for a long time and was very sad to hear her name mentioned at church when they were praying for the dead. I miss seeing Mary Jo and Paul at church (Giant too) where we would always catch up on things going on with our families after mass. I have always admired Mary Jo’s deep faith, sense of humor and positive attitude. Paul and Chrissie, please know you and Mary Jo are in my thoughts and prayers.
