Thank you for visiting Mary Frank Lyvers Warner's Life Memorial. This web page has been created so that Mary's friends and family who love and miss Mary can celebrate her life, share their memories, and continue to communicate with each other in Mary's honor. Details of the Interment Service at the Dallas-Ft. Worth National Cemetery will be posted once Mary's ashes are returned to the family (click on 'Services/Reception' to the left on this page or at the top of the page to the left). Please spend as much time as you would like here at Mary's Life Memorial, and please feel free to visit as often as you would like. So many of us love Mary, and the great memories of 'life with Mary' are a gift from her that we can share with each other for many years to come. Our sincerest thanks to you for being a part of the Celebration of Mary's Life.

3/27/10 - - Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who were able to join us today in the Celebration of Mary's Life. Those of you who were not able to attend were there in spirit, we know.
It was truly a work of art 'for the love of Mary.' We offer our sincere thanks to.....
.....those who spoke such kind and loving words about Mary (Doug Voet, Rev. Ed Lantz, Ray Truedell, Michael Jenkins, Lisa Hembry, Jim Finger, Dr. Linda James, and The Honorable Laura Miller).
.....the dancers for their moving performances (Ida Saki, Kelsey Conrad, Tye Love, Neenah, Aliki and Aicha), together with choreographers, Jessica Hendricks and Trinette Singleton, and Lisa Slagle, Director of Ballet Ensemble of Texas.
.....each of you with Dance Council of North Texas, NTSSA, and iMedia for your assistance in so many innumerable ways.
Your recognition of and appreciation for who Mary is and what she accomplished in her lifetime was truly touching.
Special thanks to Susie Buck of Susie's Cuisine, Chris Waits (for being behind the camera, capturing this special event on film), Gene Moore (also behind the camera, memorializing in still photography), Zane Steadman (for the wonderful display of Mary's life in photographs), and Ralph Blackburn (for giving us his music).
To Amanda Stone and Pam and Pam Deslorieux.....our gratitude for 'pulling the whole thing off pretty well.'
Once Mary's ashes are returned to us, we will post details here of a brief Interment Service at the Dallas-Ft. Worth National Cemetery, where Mary will reach her final resting place along side Bert. We will hope to see many of you there.
For the love of Mary,
The Warner Family
