Mary Jane Cloud, wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend.

She loved life and always wanted to be included. Even with her illness the last year, she floated the Guadalupe; Traveled to California to visit her nieces; Caught beads at Mardi Gras; Swam in the ocean in Destin; Rode on the back of a jetski on Labor Day and made Thanksgiving Dinner for twenty.

She was taken from us way too early.
