The best aunt I ever had. Kept everything positive. I will miss you a lot :)

I hope you will find peace in your happy memories...I know I will. I had the great pleasure of playing field hockey with MJ at ND. She was a great friend and I will always think of her with a smile. You remain in my prayers.

Aunt Mary Jean was full of grace, beauty and strength and she had a great sense of humor. She really was such an amazing person. She touched everyone that knew her and we are all better people for her having been part of our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Beetel and Jones families.

praying for you and your family, MJ

Mary Jean will be missed more then she could ever have imagined. Her adorable smile lit up a room. She was a warm, beautiful, wonderful, dear, sweet, inspirational soul. Dave, Ally, Brendan, Ryan, Aunt Dottie, Kevin, Robert and Kerri...you are all in my prayers. I hope God gives you strength and peace during this most difficult time. May all the love we have for Mary Jean surround you and comfort you. I am blessed to have known Mary Jean. She was one of God's greatest gifts.

We are so sorry for your loss. Everyone in the McMahon family will miss her substantially. Ally, Brendan, and Ryan, you are in our prayers and if you need anything, just call us. Love, Maeve, Danny, Fiona, Seamus, and Nuala

Although I never met MJ, my sister Caitie often spoke fondly of her. I know she was a wonderful mother and good friend to her neighbors. What a nice example she set for her community and family.
Sending lots of prayers for her family. She will be missed!

Like many people we remember Mary Jean for her smile and upbeat personality. Even in the difficult times she was always "fine" when asked how she was. We rememer her as mother and wife, thinking of her family first. We will miss her especially at Christmas time at the Christmas Eve Party where she helped the kids make their christmas cookies. We all know there is another angel in Heaven. Love, Aunt Rose and Uncle Warren

How true that "MJ showed those around her how to live and to die with strength, dignity, and peace." MJ handled life's challenges with an inner strength that was amazing to witness...plus she was fun to have around and always had great stories to share. MJ, We'll miss you on this side of heaven. Dave, Ally, Ryan, and Brendan - we're sending prayers of strength and peace your way. Sincerely, Ruta, Tadas Kulbis and kids, Kovas, Vidas, Lukas, Vasara, and Rytas

You are in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Beetel and Jones family, especially Dave, Ally, Brendan, and Ryan.

MJ was a wonderful person I will miss her. My heart goes out to you and your children.

I will always remember Mary Jean's beautiful smile, sparkling eyes, and the way she would cry when she laughed really hard -- which was often! What a joy she was to be with! It seemed that she genuinely lived life to the fullest, enjoying every moment as a gift from God, and she packed a whole lot of "life" into her 45 years. She was obviously a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend, and no one who was blessed to know her could ever forget her. She is an inspiration to all through her faith, courage, and dignity, and my prayers go out to her family for God's presence in the wake of her absence.

Our deepest condolences to Ally, Brendan, and Ryan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Remember your mother will always be with you no matter where you are or where life leads you. Stay strong. Your friends, Katie and Christine Manika

My sister (Shannon Gannon) has kept us updated over the years and we have been praying for MJ. We are so very sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

MJ will live forever in our hearts. A truly genuine, loving spirit that Heaven now enjoys. I am proud that I had the privilege to be her friend. Thoughts and prayers to the Jones and Beetel families.

As MJ's cousin, I remember red curly hair and the biggest smile. We were truly blessed to have had this time with MJ. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dave, Alley, Brendan, Ryan and the whole Beetel family.

We will never forget how you welcomed us in as new school parents at St. Mary's. We were strangers to you, but you extended yourself and immediately put us at ease and made us feel welcome. While we weren't lucky enough to know you long, that action speaks volumes to the special person you were. We will continue to pray for you, Dave, and the kids. God bless.

Rest in peace my friend and mentor. Your life and love will shine eternally. God bless the Jones Family.
