To the Lofland family: We have never met, but Tyler was related to my Dad, Harley (Skip) Lawrence. My Dad passed away in 2001 and Mary came to visit at the funeral home. I am also a member of Cove Church and I enjoyed seeing Mary at church during past years. You have our sympathy and what a great day now that Tyler, Mary and their son are together again. Sincerely, Barbara (Lawrence) and Mark Trushel

Mary and I grew up together and have remained friends since we were children. She and Tyler were in my wedding party. I moved to Cleveland, Ohio, so we rarely saw each other, but visited by phone. I’ll miss her friendship and our phone calls. My deepest sympathy to the family. Julianna Roth Cleveland, Ohio
To Helen Callahan and family Kim Lofland and family Joseph(Joey)Lipan and family Helen(Honey)Flowers and family There aren’t any words of comfort that are caring enough for the loss of Mary. I will remember her as a beautiful and caring person. She was so good to my mother, Helen Demko, and I will never forget her kindness. She kept the top of my wedding cake in her freezer until my first anniversary. Now, how sweet was that. My family and I hope our prayers will help to ease your sorrow. I am so sorry, along with my Aunt–Julianna Roth that we are unable to attend the funeral. God Bless you.
Helen,Kim and family, Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. Mary was a beautiful woman and we will miss her. Lisa Conti and the Wyngate staff
