I worked for Mary Jane at both her Strasburg shops. She was unfailingly cheerful, kind, helpful, and patient with everyone around her. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family. Rest in peace.
Dear sweet Mary Jane! I worked for her at both flower shops in Strasburg (on my days off from my full tile) especially during rush times- Valentines Day, proms and Mother’s Day. I traveled with her to trade shows where we learned more tricks of the trade. Her ever present smile made it a pleasure to be around her. We thank God for her life.
Logan,
I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Dear Dean and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Mary Jane’s passing. She was such a sweet lady. We remember when she organized Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child shoebox project at First Assembly of God. Many children were blessed because of her. She helped with Christmas and Easter musicals at the church by making costumes and helping decorate the church. She also helped feed and cloth the poor in the community through organizing and leading The Shepherd’s Closet and helping with Prime Timers that gave out Thanksgiving baskets to shut-ins and those in need, ect…
She was very active in helping to provide for the needs of the church and community.
She will be greatly missed!
May God grant you and your family peace and strength during this difficult time of grief and mourning because of this great loss.
Sympathy and Prayers,
Bobby and Pam Reynolds
