Maryjane was a dear friend in  high school. Even though we lost contact over the years. Her passing  has touched me deeply.  Every now and then when I got back home to Lititz, I would drop by Giant to say hello.  She was such a smart woman.  God rest her soul. My condolences to her family.

Mrs. Diirner,
  So sorry for your loss. Mary is at peace now. I will always remember when she brought the poodles in for a hair cut.
