  4. Rest in peace Mary Kay. I will cherish our many conversations about animal rights, you provided me with so much information about medications that were bad for pets which I still refer to today. I will miss your sense of humor and the Facebook chats. Rest easily my cousin, the other Zeigers in the clan will take it from here.
