I miss Mary Lou at this time if the year especially. We would have the Los Padres Art Guild Christmas Show & she was always ready to set up, help out & smile through the entire show. Her art was functional, fun & very popular. I still have special pieces that make me smile. You are missed dear Mary Lou!

I baby sat her kids when I was in high school & after I graduated in 1960. I had an overnight baby sitting job for the Rabskas. After playing all day with the kids, I learned why my mom put us kids to bed at 7:30 & she followed soon after that. I was exhausted.
