In 1989 her beloved 18 year old daughter, Katie, was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. Katie died in 1999 at age 28 but not before she lived a 100 lifetimes of good. Katie began her own 501(C)(3) foundation to help fund pediatric brain tumors Katie's Kids for the Cure.
After Katie's death, MJ wrote to survive. Then she wrote to help others through the grieving process. On Oct. 1, 2008 When Every Day Matters: A Mother's Memoir on Love, Loss and Life was published by Simple Abundance Press - It takes the reader through MJ's journey of loss and finding hope again so others might do the same.
