To the Lucia family, you have our deepest sympathy on the passing of a very dear and wonderful woman Mary Jane was. As a wonderful friend she was to me and Godmother to my son John and like a guardian angel to both my kids John and Shannon as they were growing up. She was generous, kind, giving and compassionate to anyone she was around. We have a lot of fond memories of going out to lunch, visiting and after religious education classes just talking about anything and everything. I could go on and on. She will be truly missed by all of us. May she rest in the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ…we love you Mary Jane…Sandy (Wertz) King, Shannon (Wertz) Ochs and John Wertz II.
My deepest sympathy to the Lucia family. Mary Jane was a wonderful person who I remember dearly. We worked for many years at Blair together and enjoyed breakfast at the Blue Manor in the mornings. She is now at peace and with her heavenly father. God Bless. Diane (Baine) Nelson
