Callahan family, I was so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I worked with Mary at Dane Drugs for many years. She was a kind lady and was fun to be around. I didn't find out about her passing until it was too late to come to the funeral. May God comfort you in your time of grief. Love and prayers to you all. Betty Krutko

I was lucky to have worked with Mary while we were at the Pharmacy at WalMart. My condolences to the family on the passing of Mary. She brought love and memories to all who knew her and will be missed deeply by those who she touched with her kindness.
My apologies for not being able to attend Marys funeral but have just had knee replacement and am still having problems walking.

Fred and family,
We are so, so sorry to hear about Mary's passing. She had been nothing but kind to us since we moved in next door 4 years ago. Quinten and Delainey adored her and I will be forever grateful for the friendship they shared. We will keep you all in our hearts as you go through this difficult time. We will never forget her and are here for Fred, should he need anything.
Our deepest condolences,
Kris, Adam, Quinten, and Delainey
