My thoughts and prayers to all of the Jurek family. I remember when we moved into the neighborhood Bill and MaryKay were very welcoming. We missed him when he passed away a couple of years later but always found comfort in seeing Jill getting on the bus and MaryKay coming and going. We were sad when we realized we weren't going to see the bus picking up Jill anymore and now with MaryKay's passing that corner will seem so empty. I know that they have all been reunited with our Lord and will be very happy to spend eternity together. My deepest condolences to all of her circle of family and friends!

Rest In Peace, dear Mary Kay.
