I have fond memories of Aunt MaryLou, in the last 11 years she was more of a mom to me than my Aunt. When I needed to talk or just to hear her voice she was always there for me and my family. I don't have words to say how much Aunt MaryLou meant to me. She's with
God now. My thoughts and prayers to Uncle Teddy and to my cousins Kathy David and Lisa.
Love
Linda and David Stogner

Mr. Leenders and family,

I have many fond memories of Mrs. Leenders and the way she welcomed me into your home like I was her own son (almost).
My prayers are with you that the Lord will comfort you with the many wonderful memories you have of her.
