Teri and Paul,

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of your
Mother. Mary Lou was a dear friend and I have wonderful
memories of her and her family from the 1960's.
Once again, I am so sorry.

Terri- I am so deeply saddened to hear about not only the untimely loss of your father, but the passing of my "adopted" South Carolina Mom. I will carry a piece of Mary Lou in my heart and cherish all the memories I have of the times we all spent together. I know that I have a special angel watching over me and in this time of sorrow, I hope that the love I had and will always have for her gives you comfort, as it does me. To live in the hearts of the ones you love, is not to die. Thinking of you and your family at this time - Karen Webne

Dear Teri and Family.

We were shocked to hear of your mother's death. She was a great roommate for my Mom.

She watched over Mom and helped make things easier for her. We really appreciated that.

I can only hope you will be comforted in the coming days.

She had a long haul, but is at peace now.

God's Blessings and Peace on all of your family.

Terri and Paul:
I was saddened to hear of your Mom and Dad's deaths. It has been years since I have seen them but my memories of them growing up are still with me. May God's grace get you through the coming days and weeks. Know they are in the greatest place (besides Lake Wateree!)
Much Love,

William and Trish Caulder,
We are extremely sorry to hear of Mary Lou passing away. We live by Cogsdill and she would walk during her lunch hour and visit with our Jack Russells. We gave her a Jack puppy for taking care of ours when we were at work. She named the puppy Emily. We will never forget her kindness and love for our four legged friends. May god bless you in your time of grief and may she walk with the angels.

Terri and Paul,

I was sorry to hear of the passing of both your parents in such a short time. I'm sure that you will miss both of them greatly.

Mary Lou was a great friend when I worked with her at Cogsdill. I will miss her, but I know that she is in a better place now and is not constrained by the health issues she's had to deal with in recent years.

May God be with you during these difficult times.

Dear Paul and Terri,
Just to let you both know that we are thinking of you both during this time.
I will always fondely remember Lou. My Mom and Lou had a wonderful time when Dorothy and I moved. I always enjoyed her fun at Cogsdill. The place was never boring with Lou there.
If there is anything Dorothy and I can do to ease your burden in some small way, please call.
