I am so sorry to hear about Mary Kay’s passing. Joe and I will be holding all of you close in our prayers.
Dave, I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you in this difficult time.
Dear Dave, Hailie, Avery, and all of the Gutoskey Family,
I am saddened by the sudden loss of your beautiful Mary Kay and my heart breaks upon her passing. She brought much joy and love and kindness into our world and into my life. I could only smile while in her presence. I will miss her terribly, but I am comforted knowing she is now with my sister Karen and they are at peace smiling together. I believe Mary Kay is now Saint Mary Katherine who guides us here on earth to one day inherit the “mansion” prepared for us. My prayers are with you. Love, Sr. Denise Marie
Dear Mr, & Mrs. Gutoskey, Joann & entire family:
There are no words of comfort to ease your pain. May the many many memories (and I’m sure there are a lot) comfort you eventually in the days ahead.
Death is not extinguishing the light. It is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
Please know that I truly know your pain. God bless you all.
My sincere condolences & prayers for all who love Mary Kay. She was a joy & touched the lives of so many. Even though I worked with her for a short time years ago she & her kindheartedness & sense of humor has remained with me. May the Lord bring peace & comfort to everyone she leaves behind.
Dave, Hailie, Avery, and the Gutoskey Family,
Kay was a true daughter of our Lord. Her faithfulness & joy have been passed down to Hailie and Avery. May God cover you in His comforting arms. I continue to pray for you all.

It’s so hard to understand why Mary Kay was taken away from her
loved ones so suddenly. My heart goes out to David, Haillee, Avery
and the Gutoskey family. My parents loved her and enjoyed her as
their daughter-in-law. Her smile, contagious laugh and love of
our family will be missed very very much. May God give you strength
In knowing that she is in heaven in the arms of His beautiful Angels.
Love,Diane

David, I’m so sorry for your loss, you and your family are in my prayers.
I send love and strength to dear Hailie and sweet Avery and all those who were loved by and loved Mary Kay. I was acquainted with Mary Kay, as a teacher to her two lovely daughters. And if there is a singular testament to her life and power- it is Hailie and Avery.
Mary Kay was funny, happy, and always smiling, much like her daughters. I am extremely sad to hear of her passing and the Trinity family will keep Mary Kay and her family in our prayers.
My deepest sympathies to the Gutosky family. May your memories of Mary Kay comfort you as you grieve. May she RIP.
