    In the 80's on TV there was a show starring 2 girls named Mary Kate and Ashley who shared a role. In the North Farms neighborhood, there were 2 girls also named Mary Kate and Ashley and they were good friends. They played at each others homes, rode bikes, played hopscotch, walked around the neighborhood and had sleep overs, and alternately played with and mercilessly teased the boy who lived in between their homes. This dynamic duo was led by Mary Kate, due to the fact that she was a few months older and had older brothers who helped encourage her spirit of play. Although Mary Kate and Ashley have not seen each other in quite a few years, Ashley still counts her as a friend. Our family extends to you our prayers and thoughts at this sad time. The Robinsons

    It's so hard to grasp the fact that this amazing, sensitive, funny, beautiful person has left this world. We absolutely adored her in our seasons together. Our hearts go out to the family. It's impossible to find words to comfort this loss. Lou and Gary Kost

    I am so sorry for your loss. Mary Kate was a lovely and special person and I know that you are devastated that she is gone. Jon brought her over for dinner frequently and she made such a yummy chocolate tofu pie for Thanksgiving last year. I will light a candle for her at Immaculate Conception Church on Sunday. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Pattie Le Sueur

    A hundred plus Chai donated to Father Pops' charity "Dans La Rue" in Montreal in Mary's name. May the family be spared any further sorrow.

    Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 25:8. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can all look forward to a time when death will be no more. I hope that this scripture can bring some true comfort during these difficult times.
