well it comes out to $2331.45 (rounded up) - So kim should get back 10,514.43 and Mary should get $1,142.69 and that solves it really pretty simple math. But I agree with the comment before. Celebrate the life of mom!

Don't bicker over the cost of stuff. The people who have paid so much should be reimbursed and draw a line under the whole thing.
Take care
