  • Kelly and family–
    I am so sorry to hear of Mary Jo’s passing–I have known her since I was a youngster at St. Francis parish, and was fortunate to become better acquainted with her when I moved back to Benton City as a young adult. I always enjoyed conversing with her after mass or at church functions–she was a soft spoken, kind hearted woman and I know she deeply loved her family from the many times she spoke lovingly of them. May you all have peace and comfort with her passing. God Bless
