I met Many Jane at Warren Manor- I was a new/young LPN. She taught me so much-she was my first mentor. She broke me into the world of nursing. Mary Jane was smart, compassionate, all with such a smile and humor. Rest peaceful- wonderful lady ❤️
Maryjane was a nice lady. She took care of my Dad for 3 years. She was his security blanket. So sorry for your loss. Great compassion.
