Joe Williams
I was fortunate to have worked closely with MJ for the last 2-1/2 years. She brought smiles and laughter to the office. She also brought treats which I had become a very big fan of !!! MJ’s bright personality filled every room she walked into and everyone’s day was a little better after stopping by the engineering office for a quick chat. She was a loving and caring Mother and a VERY proud grandmother of Hayden. I would listen to all her stories about her family and I felt like I knew all of her children although I only met them briefly. I considered MJ a close friend and I will miss her dearly. Tausha, Ricky and Sheena my deepest sympathy for your loss. Your memories of your Mom are yours forever and no one can take them away. Stay Strong and support each other and always remember your Mom was Very Proud of all of you!!!
Sincerely Joe Williams and family
Tracey
Dear Sheena, Hayden, Ricky, and Tausha
May you each take comfort in each other at this difficult time. Know that your Mother was proudest and happiest when she talked of each of you… you were her sunshine! I am so happy that she got to spend the little amount of time she had on this earth with her babies… Hayden…. She smiled bright and long when she talked about being called Gamma… she will forever be your guardian angel little one.
She will be forever in my heart…
jannie and herman van wieren
Our deepest sympathies to all of you. Keep those good memories in your heart, she often spoke of her children with a smile, as well of her mom Lynda. Our thoughts are with you in this diffecult time !!!
Melanie MacDonald & Lisa Thyssen
She was my friend, she was everyone’s friend. Beautiful, Kind, Funny, and Loving. Her smile could not only generate warmth and light, but always a sense that you knew she was your friend. God not only knew what he was doing when he created her, but also in taking her back home amongst the angels…Just as she was on earth….
I hope Heaven has pretty glasses and straws……

MJ was not only a co-worker but a good friend. Every day, 5 days a week you could count on coming to work and hearing her laugh, seeing her big smile and sassy attitude. She had a big heart and was liked and respected by all. She was dedicated and truly a joy to work with and I was honoured to be able to call her a friend.
One of the things MJ valued above all else was being a mom and a grandmother. She loved her children and absolutely loved being a grandmother. We will all miss her and want the family to know our thoughts and prayers are with you. MJ was a great lady and the world was a much better place with her in it.

Our deepest condolences on the tragic passing Mary Jane.
Though her smile is gone forever
And her hand you can not touch
Still you have so many memories
Of the one you loved so much
Her memory is your keepsake
With which you will never part
God has MJ in his keeping
And you will have her in your hearts.

Brenda Morgan
To all of MJ’s Family and also to her many friends. I am so truly saddened to hear what happened to MJ. Her throaty laugh, and her infectious smile will long be remembered by all of us that knew her. Her quick come backs and barbs, will also never be forgotten.. She made anyone who was around her feel special, and always made us laugh. She certainly held back nothing, and someone as honest as that was like a rare gem, very hard to find. You are in the thoughts of so very many people now, who are sending so many wishes your way. I hope this can bring you a little comfort to know how well MJ was loved by so many. I am sending you warm hugs, and the kindest gentlest thoughts your way, during this most incredibly tough time of your lives.

Theresia Pollock
I met MJ when she worked at Hansen’s. MJ and I had many good laughs together. Always joking around with each other. I just saw her the night before Valentine’s Day. She was in buying groceries & flowers and as I was working she would come along and move product on the shelf to another location just to get me going:) Good times. I will greatly miss MJ and her sense of humor. She always put a smile on my face, as I’m sure she did with many others. My thoughts are with all of you at this very difficult time.

Krista Gingerich
Dear Tausha, Ricky and Sheena,
Words cannot express the deep sadness I feel for the three of you on hearing about your mom. I have been thinking of each of you. She was a wonderful mother to each of you and supportive in every way. I remember asking her how she felt about being a grandma and her eyes twinkled with happiness. I am so very thankful that she had the opportunity to be a grandma. Hayden was lucky to have had her in his life, even for a short time.
Draw strength from each other, remember how much of your mom lives within each of you and cherish the memories that make you smile.
Thinking of you and your families during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Mrs. (Krista) Gingerich
