Today, April 20, I stopped to visit my father's grave at Saint Michael's. As I approached I saw that something was changed at the Hampsey plot. Please accept my sympathy and prayers for Mary Kay. She was a person I felt privileged to know.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Mary Kay. We first met in Mexico City while Mary Kay was visiting Barbara and Paul. She was a lovely, gracious lady who's presence will be missed by all of us she knew and touched.

I went to St Tom and SHC with John,and in my early 20s saw your mom frequently at daily mass. She was an inspiration. My sympathy for your loss.

My sympathy to all. Of course I can remember our trips to Mt. Mercy in Mr. Pierce's car. Mary Kay, do you remember the day we dropped the cake on your Uncle's

foot? Pat Miller and I correspond. I saw her in Baltimore this past Fall. What a great reunion we had. Your mom came to my mom's funeral and looked great. Always keep the fond memories of your mom close-by. Peace and prayers...JoAnn
