I sorry for your tremendous loss, and would like to express my condolences to the family. The hurt and pain that comes with the loss of a loved one can sometimes feel so unbearable that we might feel like we can't go on. Almighty God will give you all the strength you need to cope with your loss. Phillipians 4:13, "For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power."

I am so sorry to hear that Mary Kay has passed away. We were childhood friends and neighbors. She lived 3 doors away and she would come to my house every night after school. We would play and we established such a close relationship for 3 years. She meant so much to me as a favorite friend. We reconnected a few years ago, and I was thrilled to hear from her again. Her passing is a great loss to me and my early memories. She was such a good friend. There was something very special about her , and I thank God she was there for me at that time of my life. Always in my heart, Mary Kay.

Denny and Family. I am so very sorry for the loss of your wife and mother. I have known Kay since we were 15. We had tons of fun when we were younger. As we started our families we got busy with them and every day life. I cherish the time I spent with her last summer when I brought lunch over for us. Our hearts are heavy, but she is much happier being with her mother and as mothers do she is watching over all of you. Our memories are forever with us. I will be thinking of you all during this time. My prayers are with you
