My Dear Cousins,
I found out today of this tragic news and cannot tell you all how very sorry I am for this terrible loss. Mary Lou was in my parents' wedding and I have memories of she and Kathy babysitting for me and my siblings when my parents were both working at Crystal Lake. God bless and keep you all. Love, Karen Kincare Cali

Aloha,
We are so very sad to hear about Mary Lou's sudden death. I know that her presence and light will be missed. But she will now be able to shine upon all from above.
I don't know if it was her cute name or red hair but when I was little she was my favorite cousin (sorry to my other cousins...). She lit up a room when she entered.
All my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
Aloha ke Akua

Our deepest sympathy to your entire family.
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.May the sun shine warm upon your face.May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand

Dear Burke family and Duffy family .. Our sympathy and condolence upon the death of Mary Lou. She was a special wonderful person and will be truly missed. I remember Mary Lou as a youngster with happy memories. Only pleasant thoughts of Mary Lou ... she loved her family, husband, boys and excited when they married lovely women. The shock of Mary Lou's death and the same day Jimmy died is hard to accept. Our prayers are with you all. Sincerely with love, support and aloha.
