Mary Louise Chattin

Dear Andrew & family,
Please know that I am thinking of you.
Sending good & peaceful thoughts your way.
Best,
Melissa

Although I did not know them well, I was blessed to spend time with Mary Lou and Lloyd on several occasions, most notably at the rehearsal dinner and wedding of my son, Joseph, to their beautiful granddaughter, Charissa.

I am so very sorry for your family's loss, but, although you will miss her earthly presence I hope you can be comforted in knowing she is without pain and with our Lord and her beloved husband. You all have another angel to watch over you.

Dear Chattin Family,

The words, 'gentleness' and 'warmth' come to me when I think of Mary Lou Chattin. She was always the same, even recently when she, herself, must have been suffering some pain.

We came to know and admire Mary Lou when we became part of the Cathedral family in the late 1970s and she and the Dean took us by the hand and drew us in.

There are many 'pictures' of Mary Lou that no camera may have captured but which remain fresh in my mind -- many of them...

I hold dear my memories of Mary Lou, especially her giving us a lovely, little blue and silver cross on the day of our daughter, Nanette's baptism in May of 1986. When Nanette was a pre-school student at Trinity Cathedral Day School, I remember finding Mary Lou with Nanette, both crawling around the classroom floor, looking for Nanette's balloon that had gone missing after another student's birthday party. We will always remember Mary Lou's warm, welcoming presence and the good example...

DEAR MARY, AJ, JOEY, TIM, MATTIE, WE WERE SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. SHE IS NOW IN A MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO MORE PAIN OR SUFFERING. WE PRAY THAT GOD WILL GIVE YOU COMFORT THROUGH THE DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD KEEP IN YOUR HEART ALL THOSE WONDERFUL MEMORIES THAT YOU SHARED. WE LOVE YOU GUYS IF YOU NEED ANYTHING PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO CALL LOVE ALWAYS MONICA AND MEGAN
