I first met Mary Kate in Jazzercise class, at the back of room. We formed our dutiful line, and laughed our way through the class while doing our best to keep up with each step and turn. I went to Jazzercise each day to see Mary Kate. As a mother of four boys myself, our bond began with son stories. As I went through law school, each day Mary Kate asked me what classes I was in, how I was doing, and regaled me with wonderful travel stories and the good times she was having. Mary Kate was pure joy, life, laughter and warmth. I wish I had had a chance to say goodbye. She was a special person in my life, one that will keep inspiring me to go out there and pursue my dreams and give back. Thanks Mary Kate. You gave so much, and left such good in the world. Tops.
