I remember when Mary Kay and I were sitting on the wall, and Jim Spoto walked by and was apparently stating at me and trying to flirt with me. I was oblivious to it. Haha. Mary Kay jumped off the wall and went and grabbed him, brought him back to me and introduced us. It was instant love. Haha. What an awesome guy he was and such an insanely handsome fella too! MK always had my back. I still miss ya my dear friend.

Mary Kay,
As I said at your beautiful service, I'm not sure how we are related lol but I do know that I always have and always will consider you family!! I love your daughters as my sisters and I will do my best to be here for them in your absence. You will be very much missed by all, but especially those beautiful girls and their babies!! I will always remember your amazing smile as it is in this picture, you are a beautiful person inside and out! Thank you for all the good times swimming at your apt and always treating my son, Bradley as one of your own grandchildren. That was very special to him and he too misses you dearly. In fact he was just telling me so this morning! Rest in peace Hema! Lots of love xoxoxoxoxox

We will miss you, Mark Kay! Your presence lit up a room and you were such an open book. You were always open to spend time with your daughters and their friends. Your daughters just made you so happy! I saw the bond between you all and I know that you will never leave them. I can't believe you're gone and I will never be able to hear your voice and laughter, again but I hope that someday, we will see each other again. Rest in peace, Mary Kay! I'll be thinking of you and your daughters, today. <3

Mary Kay, I remember you as such a vibrant person who would enter a room and change up the mood to fun. Your light was so bright and you made us laugh. I have so many fond memories of growing up with your family; swimming in your pool, going to sports events, working at Jumpin' Bean, playing softball, and happier times in our youth. There are too many to mention here. In the more recent past when I ran into you, I was so happy to hear about the fact that you were a Grandmother. You were taken from us way too soon and will be very missed by friends and family. Say hello to your mom and dad in heaven; you are at peace now. Love you, Annabelle.

Oh Mary Kay...You will be missed. You were my best friend At Maryvale High School. I was a freshman and you a softmore, and you tucked me right under your wing. We enjoyed so much laughter sitting on the wall together. You brought me out of my shyness and taught me to be confident and have a backbone to bullies. I'm so happy I got to see you again at the Pullanos gathering, my favorite friend from high school. You will be missed. I love ya girl...so sad. Prayers for your loved ones, I cant imagine their pain from the loss of such a special gal. Such a spunky happy tell it like it is, protective, nurturing, tough and gentle person. Oh my gosh, this is truly sad. I miss you....
