Our hearts are heavy from the loss of our Mary Jo,
but there was such an outpouring of love in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, it touched our souls.
Your kindness lightened our burden.
We are so grateful to all of you.
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a funeral spray,
if so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words,
As any friend could say,
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so very much,
whatever your part.
