We've just received very sad news that will cast a cloud over the beautiful weekend at Joe's Pond, for sure. Jack LaGue sent this:

I'm sad to report that we received word last night that Mary Jo Dunleavy has lost her valiant one-year battle with cancer and has passed away.

Mary Jo was a close friend of the Bouchards and the Rubacalbas and was a frequent visitor to Joe's Pond and attended many JPA events.  She also rented camps on the pond the last several years during her summer vacation.

Luckily, many of us have some great memories of the good times with Mary Jo that can now dwell in our thoughts to help ease the grief.
Jack

Arrangements have not been made, but as soon as I know more, I'll post the information here for you. I know there are many heavy hearts today. Mary Jo was a truly lovely person and we'll miss her.
