I am shocked to hear this sad news of MJ. I had the honor of working with her in the Summer Reading program as supervisor and we both enjoyed each other. He smile lit up any room and a great sense of humor. We periodically kept in touch and shared past moments and present experiences. She will truly be missed. My sincere condolences go to her family. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
