Mary U. Erlandson
You will all be in our prayers in these days of mourning for your mom and grandmother. I have good memories of our family get-togethers - there was usually a smile and a kind word from Mary. May God bring you the peace and comfort only He can give. Love David and Barbara Ellis
My deepest condolences to the Erlandson family during this time of sorrow over the loss of your mom. I remember her during my youth with fond memories as she helped me with Girl's State and during my year of reign as Miss Cokato way back in the 70's - my how time flies. Mary and Julian were very involved in Cokato's community organizations and in our Lutheran church. Many blessings in her memory. God Bless you all.
Our sympathy to the family of Mary. Mary was a 50+ year member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Her home Chapter merged with Fidelity Chapter #17, Litchfield, Minnesota. A memorial gift will be sent to the Minnesota Masonic Homes Committee in her memory.
My sympathies to Mary's family. I feel blessed to have been her neighbor and friend. I was the second to the last place on Jackson Ave - a dead end street and Mary was the last place. She was so good to my boys and I. I used to feed her cat while she was away visiting her children. I have thought of her often and wondering how she is doing. She would always keep an eye out for my children. The boys liked to play in the woods beyond her house. May all of your special memories help you through this time. No matter what the age we always want them here with us longer. God's blessings to you all.
I will never forget Mary's enthusiasm and encouragement when I was attending nursing school at St. Mary's in Minneapolis from 1973-1975. (and this was before Rick and I had gotten married) She would always ask me how my studies were going. When I graduated in 1975, Mary drove to Mpls from Cokato to attend the ceremony and our celebration afterwards. I knew that she was busy and had a lot of other things she could do, but the fact that she did this just for me meant more than I can ever say. She was a great lady and will truly be missed. Connie
