I got to meet our beloved Mary Jo!

[Leslie's sister]

Hi Everyone!

Yesterday, I finally got to meet our own precious Mary Jo and her husband Mark. It was truly a wonderful experience. They were in Northern California for a wedding and made an incredibly long trek (11 hours by car) to Southern California to meet my sister and me.

Mary Jo is as wonderful, awesome, special, and loving in person as she is on this site.

We had a whole day to visit together. I can tell you that we were never at a loss for words. They felt like family.

Mary Jo did have a bit of bad news while she was here. One of her precious dogs was hit by a car and killed and they got the news just as they arrived at Leslie's. Please lift her up in prayer and encouragement if you get the chance. I know the news was painful, yet it never put a damper on our visit.

Thank you, Joe and Christine for providing a wonderful site to meet such special people as Mark and Mary Jo.
