My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to MaryJo, her family and every other person who was blessed to know her. Knowing that MaryJo is finally at peace with herself, my hope is that her family can also find comfort and peace during this tough time.

MaryJo gently reminded me about judgement of others and how that was a projection of myself. This gift is one that I will carry throughout the rest of my life.

Her spirit was large, she was a Leo sister and a person that I will always remember.

I pray that she is at peace and that her family finds peace and moves through the rest of their life utlizing the her strength and courage to live life to the fullest.

She would say to all of us today, "Dance, laugh, drink, smoke, give love and be free!"

You are free MJ.

May God comfort you and give you strength during this difficult time.

With our deepest sympathy,
Paul and Angela
(friends of the Bourland family)

I met MJ and she was just a wonderful woman with a great spirit! You will be missed. I enjoyed our time that we spent together a few years ago, I am just sad we lost touch when I moved. My sympathy goes out to your family.

MaryJo was beautiful, inside and out. Her smile lit up the room! She was a terrific Nia instructor and I enjoyed dancing with her. She used to sign her emails: "dancing thru life" and now I know she is dancing thru spirit!
