Mary Kay,

I never really knew how you came to be part of our "family" but I believe that God sent an angel (you) to befriend my mother in her later years. Without asking anything in return, you became her best and most loyal friend and helper and for that I will be forever grateful. I hope that God gives you and your family the strength to deal with your loss. Be assured that Jan and I and our daughters as well as Jimmy and Joanie will always be there for you just as you've been there for my mom. God bless you always.
