I met Mary Kay in 1995 when I first moved to NOVA. She was always so warm and welcoming. I loved listening to her stories. Lovely, lovely woman!
Wayne, our prayers are with you in this time of grief. Buck Rogers
Remembering those good times at Potomac Swim Club with fondness. Our sympathies are with you and your family.
We shared many experiences and pleasurable times together and with our families, especially Mary Kay’s support of us at a very difficult time in our lives. We will miss you.
I remember Mary Kay from nurses training. She was always upbeat even during her last year of training when she was fighting illness. She was a wonderful, fun-loving colleague. I am very sorry for your loss. Mary Rubertus
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. May your many wonderful memories help you through this difficult time. PAT
