Mary lived at Fair Haven for a number of years. She was very faithful in her attendance at worship services on our neighborhood. She was a terific person, and a true member of our Fair Haven family. She will be missed by all.

We met Mary and her Mother on our very first cruise! We were booked by the same travel agent with connecting flights. The second flight was rescheduled for the 4 of use so we wouldn't have such a long wait. Unfortunately, our luggage was not on that flight and the four of us met at the luggage ramp in Miami. We became friends as we waited and WAITED for our luggage! Turns out we were seated at the same table in the dinning room. We explained we were celebrating our 25th anniversary by taking this cruise. To our surprise, they told out waiters...the lights were dimmed and we were presented a lovely candlelit cake presented by all the waiters who danced around the room singing "Happy Anniversary" !
