Mary Louise and I have known each other and been friends since pre-school. We went to grade school and high school together and were in each other's weddings. We kept in touch through the years but Mary Louise was far better at it than I. She was a fun-loving woman with a positive outlook on life -- very high energy with undaunted perseverance.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jason, Lisa, Wayne, Colton and Cade(Cambrey wasn't born yet) a few years ago in Houston. Mary Louise was a very proud Mom and Grandma -- she loved you dearly, which I'm sure you know very well.
God bless you, Mary Louise. I will miss you and I know I'm a better person for having known you.

Mary Louise considered us part of her family when Wayne and Lisa married. She was special to us and we shared many holidays together. She was a kind and loving person whose memory we will always keep alive for our grandchildren.

Mary Louise will be greatly missed and I will never forget her. My heart is heavy with sadness as I grieve her passing. She had a tremedous spirit and love of life. I always enjoyed hearing her stories of adventure and travel. She always kept her head up and never felt sorry for herself during her battle with cancer. She loved my children as if they were her own grandchildren. She was compassionate, giving, wise and trustworthy. She loved the Lord. May God Bless You always Mary Louise. To Lisa and Jason, your mom loved you both so much and was so proud of you. To Wayne, she loved you as her own son and always knew she could count on you for anything. To Colton, Cade and Cambrey...Grandma T loved you all so much and was always thinking about ya'll. She was one proud grandma!
With sympathy,
Lori, Monty, Morgan & Emma Janak
(Wayne's sister and family)

Mary Louise has always been my favorite aunt. My family greatly enjoyed our last visit with her this summer and truly believed we'd have at least one more. She was the strongest woman I've ever met and my inspiration to become an educator. I'll always admire the way she seized life by the horns and hung on for the ride.
We shall hold you forever in our hearts.

Mary Louise...as trite as it may seem was definitely the "wind beneath ny wings"...at times a questionable wind..not knowing where we were going or where it would lead us...but FUN all the way!!!

Mary Louise and I go back longer than I care to count. We have been friends since the 7th grade...almost since the invention of "dirt". Her positive attitude is not something new, but something that has been a part of her life/personality for most, if not all, of her life.
We have shared lots of wonderful experiences and memories that will always be dear to me. We will never share lots of wonderful memories and that will always be sad for me.
Mary Louise did not change her way of living once she was diagnosed with cancer. I think that her basic philosophy of life was enhanced and invigorated once the diagnosis was made.
I cannot express my deep sadness to Lisa and Jason...they have lost a wonderful mother and grandmother to Lisa's children. They have also been most fortunate in having such a wonderful mom for an important part of their lives. The only thing I can ask is that they remember the life-lessons learned from her. Also, please know (as if you don't already) that you were THE most important people in her life. She loved you dearly and wanted only the best for both of you.
I would be pleased and honored if you would choose to keep in touch.

Mary Louise will be greatly missed. I had the honor to teach on the same team with her at Thompson for 10 years. She was more than just a friend. She was an inspiration to all of us. She would want us all to remember the joys in her life (of which she had many). God Bless and goodbye.

Mrs. Thompson was one of my eighth grade teachers during my 95-96 school year at Thompson Intermediate. Her warm smile and personality are something that I will never forget.

Mary Louise and I had many miles of conversation as we trained and then walked the half marathon last year. She was truly an inspiration to me and many others as she always had a smile and positive attitude while training and going through therapy at the same time. She lived what she taught and lived life to the fullest. I know she will always be that shinning star for her son, daughter and grandchildren. My prayers are with her family.

Mrs. Thompson was a kind, brilliant and wonderful woman and I am privileged to have known her. She was a mentor to my daughter through the science program at Thompson Intermediate. Every time I saw her at church she inquired about her and always offered encouragement to me because I was just getting started in the music program and unsure of myself. She was a great lady who affected many lives in a positive way and we will miss her.
