MARY LOU JONES HARD

I only met Mary Lou when she attended my wedding, but in the short amount of time I spent with her, it was clear what a sweet, loving person she was. I'm sad that I had such a limited amount of time with her, but blessed at the opportunity to have her in my life.

Bob, My thoughts and prayers are with you

I had the good fortune of teaching at All Saints Episcopal Day School when Mrs. Jones was the principal. She was such an inspiration.

Dear Bobby, Libbie, Kathy, and Mary Ann,
Jack and I, as well as Judson, Ann, and Dave, have lost a dear friend. Mary Lou was an inspiration to all of us. She showed such strength and courage. She and I shared many afternoon walks, talking and laughing, sometimes through tears, but often remembering when Charlie and Judson were little boys and later teenagers together. She loved all of her children so much, and I have always felt a special bond with all of you. We will be with you at the...
