I'll always remember Mary's kindness. Many a time she would drop in to say hello when I was just a kid taking piano lessons from Opal to always a kind word at church. My, how she loved to hear Richard play all the instruments - piano, organ and marimba. And, how she was so interested in all the doings at church, who was there, who was missing and all. She was definitely a pillar of Casco and will be greatly missed. Best especially to one of my favorite people in all the world, her husband Richard. Be well.

Richard, and family so sorry for your loss. Mary was such a part of all our lives in Casco and South Haven. A matriarch of an iconic family and a warm heart to those around her. I am so blessed to have known her.

Another one from the greatest generation has passed. Mary's mother was my first & second grade teacher, so I knew that Mary would be a kind, but firm, teacher. It was always a privilege to teach with her at Lincoln! We will miss her very much, but God has gained another angel.

Mary was our first "groupie" for the Casco Band...she followed us to all our concerts for many-many years, taking pictures, putting together the programs, and keeping Richard in line. She was a true inspiration for all who knew her, and was loved by all. We will miss you Mary, but know you will be a big part of our lives whenever we "Strike Up the Band!"

Richard, Kristen, Rich and families: So sorry. Mary & I have been friends since grade school. A long friendship. Whenever we met there were no complaints about her health, just wanting to know about me and my family. She and my Mom are now together to discuss us all. Prayers and God's peace wished for you in the days ahead.

It is difficult to find the correct way to respond to the passing of Mary Barden. Maybe Mark Twain said it best when he suggested: "Let us so to live our lives that when it comes time to die even the undertaker is sad." We will miss you Mary.

Dear Richard and family, Yes, another Titan of Casco has fallen. We saw Mary last summer and her presence was light even then, but she had a twinkle in her eyes and was a great conversationalist. Best wishes as you carry on.

Condolences, prayers and thoughts, Richard at the passing of Mary. Enjoyed many good times with her and you over the years. I remember with a smile the "computer lessons" from time to time as there were problems with a program on the computer or her not knowing how to do a certain thing.
