Dear Trish, Bob, Dick, Steve & David- So sorry to hear the news about your mom. I keep thinking back to when I was a kid living on Midvale Road and all the time I spent at your house with Trish. When I think of your mom I picture her in the kitchen cooking with a smile on her face. I am at the Cape with the entire Crawford clan for the holiday and won't be able to make it back to see all of you. I know how your mom loved it out here. We will be thinking about her and all of you on this difficult weekend. Love, Priscilla (Crawford) Lundeen

To the family of Mary: My name is Patty and I own Sorelle Hair Design. I am not sure if this is Mary, whom I did her hair for years. If it is I am terribly sorry to hear of your loss. She was a great lady and so much fun. I wish I had been able to see her again. I had a stroke last year so I am sorry I am unable to come to the funeral. Give my best to all, I am sure she will be missed. Fondly, Patty

TO Mary's family, I truly loved your mom. She always made my day when I worked at E.C.M. I truly loved doing things with and for her.She always let me do things for her that she wouldn't let other people do. I remember when she first came to E.C.M. I worked second shift at that time,I would bring her into the office with me and she would sing "When Irish Eyes Are Smileing" I know we are not supposed to have favorites in my line of work,but your mom was truly my very favorite.I will never forget her. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. You truly had a wonderful mom.

Mary was a dear friend of my mother, many years ago when we still lived in Vestal. I remember how the two of them would laugh & talk together. My sympathy goes out to all of Mary's family in this time of sorrow.
