My deepest sympathy to Lee, Bob, Amanda and the whole family. Mary Jo was not only such a dear friend to my Aunt Katie (Hudson) and my mom, Mary, but to all of the Davis family. As was Lillard. Two of the most gracious and kind people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I know Mary Jo will be missed by each of you and a host of friends and family members who love her. My thoughts are with you all.

Lee,
So sorry we were not able to make the services for you mother. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you every single day! Loved reading the comments above. We didn't have the pleasure of getting to spend much time with your mom and dad, but it's obvious they were loved by many - and you are certainly carrying on that legacy. Love you like a brother. May your fond memories of your mother and father bring you comfort during this difficult time.

We feel so blessed to have known Lillard & Mary Jo. We always enjoyed being with all the families during the holidays. We enjoyed Mary Jo's kidding with Glen and he with her about her "Republican Friend." God Bless you all during this difficult time.
Love

I will never forget the summers of my youth with Aunt Mamo...coffee and crossword puzzles around the kitchen table, time at the lakes and of course going to the beauty shop! The memories are great and she was always surrounded by family and friends that loved her...what a huge life she led. Lee, Bob, Rhonda and Amanda our thoughts are with you at this time...lots of love from all the Pollock?s in Colorado.

from Wallace:
I remmeber the way Mary Jo would call me sometimes wanting to know if had gotten 21-across on the days's crossword puzzle. she was sharp as a tack for a long time.

from Amanda:
I remember one summer playing with roly pollies on her front porch, her cooking salmon crockets, being picked up from the bus stop, learning to driver with her car during a week over the summer at driver's ed.
