    My heartfelt condolences to Mary Jean's family. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out. My favorite memory is of her teaching me to Greek dance in the Hellenic Hall back in the 'Seventies! I always loved our chats when I visited Steubenville and had occasion to run into her. God bless.

    Thea Mary Jean, from the moment I met you in 1975 my love for you was instant and immeasurable. I always felt safe and loved when you were around. There was a time when you and my mother were inseparable and some of my favorite moments were spent with you. I always looked forward to going to your house to swim and listen to you and Mom gossip. There was a time you stayed with us for several months and shared a bed with me. I was your little heater you would say. Well, you always kept my heart warm ❤️ and your memory always will. Rest in eternal peace. I love you.
