All of us at Algorithm are so very, very sorry for your loss. Mary Jo was a one-of-a-kind coworker. Smart and hardworking, but more importantly to our team, she always had a kind word and a truly caring heart. And if that wasn't enough, she made amazing cookies for us. Please accept our sincere condolences and know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so, so sorry to have heard of Mary Jo's illness and her passing. She was such an intricate part of my growing up and my memories are full of so much that we shared. My heart is heavy for all of you. Prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time.

We were so sorry and saddened to receive Tom's call early Monday morning while we were on vacation. Peggy and I have been keeping Mary Jo in our prayers daily throughout her illness and know how difficult the many months have been for all of you as she courageously fought through the treatment. Please be assured of our continue prayerful support.
We always appreciated how passionate Mary Jo was about our family and our Iannarino heritage. She was so good at knowing our family tree and played a powerful role in helping all of us come to know who we are and our beautiful Italian heritage that was given to us by the Augustino and Maria (Purpura) Iannarino Family.
On a personal note, I am so sorry I am not in the country to be able to help you with the funeral Mass like I did when her wonderful dad and my special cousin, Tom, died in 2013.
I know how much Mary Jo's Catholic faith was important to her and to all of you. I was honored to be there with Josephine and all you when her Dad passed away over a year ago. I can just image that he was standing there with that beautiful Mangia/Melfi smile and ready to help her into eternal life with him and all of our dear family members and loved ones who have gone before us. Now she belongs to the communion of saints and I will ask her everytime I am at Mass to pray for us.
May Christ strengthen all of you with the courage to continue your own journey through this life on earth. Someday we will enjoy Mary Jo's love and friendship once again, but for now may she rest in peace with Our Risen Lord, Our Blessed Mother, Mary, St. Joseph (her two patron saints) and all the saints in heaven.
All our love and we will see you when we get home.
God Bless!

My condolences to the Mangia family. Psalms 146:5 read: Happy is the one who has the God of Jacob as his helper. Whose hope is in his God. This may sound strange now being that you are in pain now but if you put your hope in God to bring back your loved one, you will be happy. Please find some strength and comfort from this fact in your time of need.
