Our deepest condolences and thoughts go out to the Hawrylak family at this trying time. She was a woman that was generous to a fault. I have nothing but fond memories of brief time spent with my Aunt Mary and Uncle John and cousins during summers long ago. The legacy that she leaves behind will continue to grow and strengthen as a family should. We should all take a lesson of giving to Family and Friends without reservation as she did, this would make the world a more loving and benevolent places. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time. Much love to all from S. Korea from Kell and Marcela and Ariana and Alex.

Mary Hawrylak was one of the original people who started Allentown Senior Center nearly 40 years ago. She was a long-time participant and volunteer. She loved her cards and bingo and enjoyed the special events at the Center, especially the parties. What a wonderful, strong, and beautiful woman! Mary was a beloved friend and we'll all miss her very much. Our Condolences go to her family, which she loved very much. On behalf of Allentown Senior Center, Cyndie Carioli.

When I think of Mrs. Hawrylak I think of a strong Catholic faith- filled loving spirit fiilling a woman of determined independence.As my deceased husband and I grew up in Allentown and attended St.George's Church & school, we knew her as an attentive wife and mother, neighbor, and dedicated parish and community supporter.Her greatest achievement and pride was in the success of her children and grandchildren and great- grandchild. May the light she shared be carried on through them. Peace & love, Marian (Clark) Gremba
