Our sincere sympathy is extended to the entire Fargo family. Although I didn't know Mary well, I knew her as a kind, gentle, and gracious lady. Brian, with Steven as his best friend, enjoyed many good times with Grandma and Grandpa Fargo. Tenderly, may God heal your sorrow and precious memories remain.

We are so sorry that you Lost Mary. Even though to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We hate to let them go. She is still living, and we will all join her one day- It is not good bye, It is only "see you later". Much Love Always, Alice and George Wall
