my mom, Roxane Crafton, and I are just blown away at this whole thing. We looked forward to her visits all the time when she came down and when my mom would go all kinds of different places with her. She had been my mom's rock since my father passed away!! She was my rock on the way to his funeral because I rode with her. RIP Mary, we love you and will miss you GREATLY!!!!!

Mary was a wonderful and giving person. I have great memories of her and the boys when I lived in Seattle. We played together and cried together. She made me part of her family and was a great best friend. We had many adventures back in the day, she was such a caring and giving person. The world lost a beautiful and kind soul.

Mary was my rock when I lost my husband in 1996. She was able to prepare for what I would face in the days/weeks/months to come. I could not have made it through without her.

I think of Mary quite often and miss her happy laugh and propensity to give us all nicknames. She would always call me "Blondie"....makes me smile when I think of that. Even though life was not always kind to her, I can think of few people who added so much kindness to the world. My heart and prayers are with you and your whole family.
