MaryJo was so very special. She was loving,thoughtful,patient,kind,gentle and spritual. She came to Chicago about twenty years ago and called me...I remember hanging up after our conversation and thinking that she was such a special person...even though I didn't know her well,I do know that the world has suffuered a tremendous loss.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of this wonderful woman. I still remember those days when she worked at St. Bon's with Mr. Van Ackeran. I was in the band at that time. I often tried to drop by the Music Store to say hi whenever I was in Columbus. I will miss her.

I will remember Mary Jo for her kind spirit and her gift of kindness to all people that she came in contact with. She was deeply religious and of great faith, which I admired. My thoughts, prayers and sympathy are with Barb, Jeannie, Keith and Ashlee and all her friends. Sue Ann

For the past 30 years we have had the pleasure of working side by side with Mary Jo. She was an inspiration in so many ways. She has left an empty space at the music store and in our hearts. She so enjoyed being around music and helping people however she could--the world is a better place because she was here.

I sang in the St. Bonaventure Adult Choir for several years. Mary Jo was so patient and kind. She is now directing and singing with the angels. She always had time to visit and share kind words. She will be missed greatly. May she rest in peace. Cathy White

What we have lost in a WONDERFUL neighbor and friend, heaven has gained. I told Mary Jo that I was sure she would go straight up to heaven; especially for putting up with us as neighbors for 23 years. It's like I can see her happy and healthy again with her mother Margaret and brother Al. We loved her like family and will miss her every day we look over at the home she loved.

Mary Jo touched the lives of many young people at Columbus Music Store. Clearly, I was one of those she touched. I still recall feeling that I was her only customer each time she helped me (even when the store was packed). Clearly her Christian Faith and love of God was totally present as she helped each customer. I've been away from Columbus for almost 40 years. Mary Jo is still clear in memory. My prayers are with her family and friends as they suffer this loss.

If you lived in Columbus, you knew Mary Jo! What a neat lady. How I remember the days of the 45's and all the new Beatles songs and Mary Jo always had em'!! The Lord's music store is in good hand now. Always there with a smile and a kind word. With deepest sympathies, George Gottschall

Mary Jo - I think each of us has a favorite song. Whether it's the lyrics, or the melody - there's just something about it, that touches us deep inside. Sometimes, we love these special songs because they're unique - or they make us smile. And sometimes, we rely on them because they give us strength - comfort - belief. Mary Jo, to many of us, you are that 'favorite' song. Something that is so familiar, so sweet...it will never be forgotten -

Gail & I share the loss of Mary Jo. Gail took piano lessons from her aunt and I bought all sort of stuff in that store. There was never a time when she was down. She was a beautiful person. Mary Jo was Columbus Music.

May the Lord be with you at this time. Mary Jo was a wonderful and kind lady. I remember in my youth coming into Columbus Music to listen to the new 45's and Mary Jo helping me. When years later I came in with my children to purchase instruments she was there helping me and explaining all the in's and out's of the piece. Yes her helpfulness and kindness aren't found much any more the world will truly miss her.

Having literally grown up in the music store, I have known Mary Jo for almost 30 years. She was always sweet, kind, calm, and patient—even with the loudest aspiring musicians. She will be greatly missed. Our sympathy goes out to her family and friends. Love, Maria (Moser), Scott, and Emma Thomas

I remember the first time I met Mary Jo in the music store. I was in high school and looking for one special record and she was the one who helped me to get that record ordered. She always had a smile and was always able to answer and help with any questions in the music store. She will be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Jeannie Werner

Mary Jo was a very kind and sincere friend, who I visited with many times when I visited back in Columbus. I will miss seeing her when I am back in the area. She will be greatly missed by a lot of her classmates. You all have my deepest sympathy.
