Mary Kay was an inspiration to all who knew her. She had such a zest for life and lived it to the fullest. Her family was her greatest joy and she was never without pictures to prove the fun they enjoyed together. She will truly be missed by everyone she has ever come in contact with, and the world is a little darker without her.

May the wind of Love blow softly,

On that quiet and peaceful spot.

Where the one we love is sleeping,

And will never be forgot.

And her hands we cannot touch,

We will never lose sweet memories,

Of the one we loved so much.

You will always be my best friend.

Love, Elaine
