I will always remember Mary Lou and the nice times we shared together. She was very fond and proud of her family. When she came to the house to play cards, I did not have the right toothpicks--I had the round toothpicks in lieu of the flat ones. Also, I did not have the right bottled water but the food was good--she did not complain about it. This was Mary Lou--she told you if something was wrong. May she rest in peace with her beloved Leonard.

I just read about the sad news yesterday. Your Father and Mother were 2 angels that walked the face of this Earth and now they're two angels in heaven. My heat and prayers go out to you.

Every summer we plant a large garden and would take vegetables, herbs, and of course garlic to Mary Lou and in return she would make us one of her delicious Italian dishes. We will be missing her as a neighbor and friend.
