May you Rest In Peace, Mary Kay. Mary Kay and I graduated from MAA together and I was so glad to see her at our 50 year celebration! I’ll keep you all in my prayers! I always remember her beautiful smile and disposition!
I too graduated with Mary Kay from MAA & we quickly became friends on social media.
What a lovely person Mary Kay was, who will be deeply missed.
My heart aches. You’re in my prayers.
R.I.P. sweet cousin…I will always remember you. your constant battle for the less fortunate, the unborn, and the abandoned pets will forever be in our hearts!
With Love, Cousin..Jim Zeiger.
Rest in peace Mary Kay. I will cherish our many conversations about animal rights, you provided me with so much information about medications that were bad for pets which I still refer to today. I will miss your sense of humor and the Facebook chats. Rest easily my cousin, the other Zeigers in the clan will take it from here.
