In Memoriam: Mary Jo Roberts

Mary Jo Roberts was a survivor, a proud contributor to this site, and an ardent supporter of her fellow Violence UnSilenced comrades. On Saturday, May 15, she passed away unexpectedly. Our hearts are aching for her husband, Matt, and their loved ones.

Thank you, MJ, for using your voice to help others. You were clearly treasured and will be deeply missed.
