So sorry for our loss of this most special lady. Mary Jane and I were roommates @ OVGH. Many study hours, conversations and much support to complete our road to obtaining what seemed to be that elusive "RN." As difficult as that time seemed to be we remember many of the good times rather than the times that we were sure we would never accomplish our goals. Somehow we made it!!! I know now she is with her beloved Marvin and @ peace. Until we meet again Mary Jane RIP
