Mary Lou Downing

Dear Mary Lou, Unfortunately, we only found out much too late today from Katie that you passed away in December 2015. That touches us very much and makes us sad. We got to know and appreciate each other on vacation, we became kind of distant friends between Germany and the USA. All hours with you will remain unforgettable for us. You are and will remain in our hearts forever. We would have loved to hug and hug you again. We'll catch up with that now with the words as best we can. Thank...

So sorry for the lost of your dear loved one. May you get the strength and comfort you need during this difficult time. 2 Cor 1:3

Any words we have for you, Natalie, and your family could not express our sympathy nor ease the pain of loss I know you must be feeling. We offer you our heartfelt prayers that you will be held in the hand of God and that Mary Lou will rest in peace, knowing that you are surrounded by those who love you and are honored to know you as a friend.

Her hospitality was second to none, our family will never forget Thanksgiving at the "Downings" and her sympathy when our parents passed away.
She will always remain in our heart.
Reinhard and Monika Schomburg

So very sorry to read of Mary Lou's passing. I will always hold her and Joe in my fondest memories. They had a love that was truly made in heaven!

To the downing family...I am so sorry for your loss. What a sad year for all of you, but I'm sure she is happily reunited with Joe, Bill and Donna. She may have also met up with my mom. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Take comfort in the loving memories you all have of your family in heaven.

One of my favorite people of all time; will surely miss both Mary Lou and Joe...wonderful folks is an understatement.
