Dear Chester and Novak Family,

I'm so very sorry to hear of Mary Ann's passing. My father, Ken Novak, is a Falcon member with Chester and I remember Mary Ann fondly from the family member parties over the years. She was a driving force in making those fun gatherings happen!

I'm so happy that I got I see and visit with Mary Ann at Dad's Oktobrfest just a few short weeks ago on 9.27.2025. She seemed in great spirits and her smile was as bright as ever.

Sending you all positive energy for peace and comfort, and I'm certain she is keeping a protective and watchful eye on you all.

Much love,

Heidi (Novak) Lancaster and Family
