Hello Norm, this is one of your former pastor’s. Dr. Dennis A. Haggray. I regret receiving the news about Mary. You and Mary always inspired and encouraged me as I served the congregation. My prayers are with and for the entire family. Be strengthened during this time of great loss. I would call if I had a number to reach you at. I pray that you will do well. Blessings, Love and Peace!
Our deepest sympathy to Norm and her family. Mary and I (Marilyn) started working at Crawford & Company one month apart in 1990. She had a great smile and a kind word for everyone. Always ready to laugh and to get others laughing too. Mary loved her family and was so proud of all of you. You are all in our prayers.

Mary was a wonderful lady. We enjoyed our band and color guard adventures together. And, many happy lunches. I will miss you Mary. God bless your family in this sad time.
My deepest sympathies to you and Mary’s family. You made such a wonderful couple. My eyes would light up when I saw you two. You represented all that was right in this world. Kindness, love, respect for others and dignity. I will miss Mary very much. She made you so happy and for that I was truly grateful to her. God bless you! Always your neighbor Melanie Tomasz.
Aunt Mary was always so generous and kind with my own mom, and was so brave in her own battle with illness. I am so sorry I could not be at the visitation, but I hope the family will feel some comfort in that she is no longer sick and would definitely want to be remembered for all the good times she was part of. Love, Hilary
Aunt Mary was a beautiful woman that always brought a smile and a loving warmth to every occasion. I always enjoyed family get-togethers with Aunt Mary because she always made you feel special. My deepest condolences go out to Scott, Brett, Robin, and Norm.
