Dan and family,
We can still see Mary riding on the back of her son's motorcycle one Sunday after a family gathering. We pray you have many good memories of your times together!

I spent 10 years visiting Mary and Every Nook' N Cranny, spending my money like a drunk sailor and enjoying every minute of it. I loved how she loved people, art, family and how she made me laugh. I miss going to the shop to see what hat she had on and what attitude she was sporting that day. There was always a new project and the absolute promise of a down size in extra materials and silks. You will be missed Mary and always remember how I love you dear friend. Diane Buckley Pearson

Thank you, Mary Cranny for sharing your joy of art, and crafting with Omaha for so many years. Your enthusiasm and appreciation gave me confidence in my own work. I still look for the blinking lights where your store was. The crafting community has lost a great friend.
