I was so blessed to have known the Fagan Family for over 60 years. I was a candle lighter for the marriage of Mary and Jerry ( along with her sister Margaret ) I think we were about ten yrs old! I recently saw Mary and her lovely daughter and she gave me a beautiful tulip pin! Mary always had such a beautiful smile! Rest in peace!

I met Mary and her family back in 1962 when her sister Margaret was a nursing school classmate of mine. She was so warm and friendly to me during all our visits during those 3 yrs and many years later I would see her and Jerry for their medical office visits where I worked. She was so happy to share her time with brother Jim when they took a cruise to Alaska together. She had such an infectious laugh and smile. I even got to meet her brother Dick during this time as well. Mary will be missed. Karen Cross Halgren
