Mary Jo was one of my very favorite guests who shopped with me at Brighton Collectibles. She loved our bright straw handbags. We became friends over the phone,and she would always ask me how my own family was doing. She will be missed by all the girls at Brighton who had the pleasure of meeting her.

We did not know Mary Jo, but my husband and I have had the pleasure of Dean and Wendy's friendship for the last couple years. Knowing Dean with his positive attitude and unique sense of humor, I feel sure that His Mother must have been a source of both in her family's life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of loss.
