Glenn, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Mary Jane. Chris (my ex-wife) loved teaching with MJ @ Wilson MS! I wish you the best in the days ahead. I smile when I recall our days together @ the ESC with Austin. What a job! Meetings and IEP's for three long years. Your friendship, wisdom, and good humor made those years more bearable!

Glenn, you have my sympathy. I enjoyed 16 years of teaching with Mary Jane. She was so dedicated to her job and shared her wisdom with me. I respected her leadership. You and she gave your all to students in Cedar Rapids.

I never had Mrs. Oldorf as a teacher but my two older siblings did at Taylor back in the 70's. I remember her clearly though and she was a great lady. She will be missed by all of the old Taylor students.

Dear Glenn, You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved Mary Jane. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit when you first moved to Bickford and I got to meet you both. Her reputation as a wonderful lady who gave her very best to her students certainly preceded our meeting. May God hold you in His hands as you look back upon your life together and relive many glorious memories. Peace to you during this difficult time.
