Dr. Steck and Family,
I'm sorry for the death of your wife and mom. I always liked her easy manner. You kids were fun to teach because of that - I guess you got that from both sides, huh? I still remember Mary Pat painting our utility room when we lived northeast of Andale.
Our prayers are with all of you.

Dr. Stech and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Mary Kay from Via Christi and I really enjoyed the time when she volunteered there. When I left that job, she and the other Mary Kay came and took me out to lunch. I won't forget her kindness to me. My prayers are with you and your family.

I knew May Kay when she and her good friend MaryKay P. volunteered in the Public Relations Department at St. Francis hospital. She was a valuable resource to us, freely sharing her communications expertise, energy and advice. More than just "another pair of hands," Mary Kay believed in the mission and took her volunteer position very seriously. A part of our team, she was also a good example of a gracious woman and an involved citizen. The "Mary Kays" were always a lot of fun to be around, too. My prayers are with Mary Kay's family and friends.
