Mary Jensen

I only knew Mary Lou in the last chapter of her life, so I didn't have the history that most people had with her, but in that short time she shared her deep affection, she had for her awesome family. We shared other things and she taught me so much in such a short time. I am honored to have known her.

Mary Lou shared from her abundant spirit. She knew that her presence and her actions made a difference in the world and she let you know that your presence and your actions are equally important. She encouraged all of us to enlarge our worlds and care deeply. I will really miss her, but her soft voice, sweet manner, and twinkling eyes are still with me.

Mary Lou was a wonderful person who left her mark on the world. My husband & I were fortunate enough to know this great woman and she will be missed.
