To All the Coan family. My heart is breaking with the lost of our sweet Mary, your mother, grandmother....my friend. I can't express enough,how much I adorned your Dad and Mother. Every morning for years serving them breakfast was something I looked forward too and then came to miss. So many wonderful memories from both of them to hold on too forever. The latest passing of your mom brings to an end a beautiful era for which...people like her just don't come along anymore. My heart hurts knowing I will never see her again, but happy she is home and with George and the lord. I love you Mary. Forever..Gaye Swenson
