My deepest Sympathy to Mary Jane’s family. She was a dear member of the Class of 1964, Eugene High School. Mary Jane was always upbeat, friendly and likable. Our class has now lost three members in recent weeks and months. As we lose them, we mourn them, and a little piece of us goes with them. God be with you Mary Jane! Alan Wright—Pawleys Island, SC
