To all the Craycraft, Hurt and Dardinger Families I send my sympathy in your time of sorrow. She is now home and at peace. Mary was a very humble but sincere person who I truly enjoyed meeting. Her and Lee are probably having a decorating (or planning one) party. What reminded me of Mary was a quote from the Dalai Lama: “It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.”
That is how Mary lived her life. Peace to all.

Janet - Jul 9, 2011

We miss you mom…..
