My sincere condolences to all of Marylou's family. I will remember Marylou as a kind, caring and thoughtful woman. She was my mother's (Patsy) dear friend for many, many years. I can see them both together now, sharing lots of laughs and special memories of their lives.

Of our Grandmother's (Concepcion Monge, AKA "Mamanina") 12 grandchildren, Marylou was the second grandchild. Of all the girl cousins, I was the lucky one who inherited Cousin Marylou's pretty hand-me-down clothes. I say "lucky" because the clothes were beautiful. I especially remember wearing Cousin Marylou's deep red, corduroy jumper with an ivory colored, see-through material, short-sleeve blouse, sprinkled with small glittery rhinestones. I also remember wearing her leopard print coat with red hood.

The last time I saw Cousin Marylou was when she was expecting Cindy. Marylou was beaming with pride, closely surrounded by all six children in front of Mamanina's home. Cousin Marylou had on a beautiful off-white, brocade, maternity smock, her hair falling unto her shoulders.

I have many memories of Cousin Marylou, among them Maryloy being an attractive young lady, soft spoken, and congenial. Cousin Marylou will always be remembered as such and more by all her loved ones.

Marylou was a wonderful, giving person. She loved her family and friends dearly, and gave of herself at every opportunity.

I have never known a more loving and devoted mother and grandmother.

I remember the day many years ago when I put on a party for a large group of day care children. Marylou, and her dear friend Phyllis came to help with the party. The joy they experienced in being with the children, and the fun they brought to the children that day lives in my memory forever.

I will miss her sweet smile and her loving heart.

I thank God that I was blessed to know and love Marylou and her wonderful family.

Marylou constantly sported a smile with a gentle giggle. That is how I remember her the most. I had the honor of visiting her not that long ago, Marylou was still doing her best to fight the odds with that special smile of hers that will never be erased from my memory. May God look upon you my dear cousin with His Ocean of Mercy.
