We are so sorry to hear about cousin Mary Lou. I also enjoyed seeing her at family events. Even as a little kid I always remembered how friendly she was and happy to see everyone. When I was really little living in Pittsburgh and the Weschlers would visit, I asked Mary Lou where Erie was and she said "up north". So I asked her if she had penquins (I wasn't great at geography back then) and from then on we had a running joke about the penquins in Erie. Our thoughts are with you - Michelle Baron and family (cousins on the Straka side - Aunt Sue's granddaughter, Cousin Danny's daughter)

We were so sorry to hear about Mary Lou, she was such a nice neighbor. She always had a smile on her face and was so great with all the neighborhood kids who liked to ride their bikes in and out of her driveway. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
