I just found out that Mary Lu died on July 4. I send my sincerest thoughts to her children, Georgia, Hugh, Caroline and Peter and all of the grandchildren.

To Dr. Mary Lu Schreiber's family. I met Dr. Schreiber at RCEB 15 years ago. I was privileged to be able to schedule her appointments for her weekly consultations with RCEB consumers. Every word used to describe her are the words in my heart. I think of her everyday and I have many wonderful memories. All my love to her family. Always, Judy Ann Steinmiller Concord California

Though completely surprised, sometime during the evening she went upstairs and when she returned, was dressed fashionably for...

Mary Lu joined the SF Symphony chorus near to my entry. Her joy and enthusiasm in portraying the music we sang was infectious. She loved her family and always remembered our children.She was the life of any social occasion. She will be deeply missed.

Doc Schreiber's love of life, sense of humor, "style", and ability to bring people together will be sorely missed by all of us. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

This world would be a better place if we were all loved so passionately, known so well, and portrayed so perfectly. An amazing woman and family, as evidenced here.
