Linda,
We are so sorry to learn of May Lou's passing. She was such a sweetheart and we enjoyed our ride to church with her for many years. She was fun and happy and you were there to make that continue throughout her life...
Our condolences to you and the family!

Linda, how fortunate were Mary and Vera to have you in their lives. You provided them safe harbor, love, kindness and shelter from the challenges of life. They knew what a loving family was because of you. They knew safety because of the home environment you provided. Holidays were extra fun, from Easter baskets to Santa Claus. And they even had the love from their grandma and grandpa Frutos. And Stanley was their favorite doggie. You gave them wonderful memories from Disney world to yearly vacations. The loss of Mary is deeply felt because of you and your abiding love and protection. Mary and Vera, may they Rest In Peace

Mary always greeted me with a genuine smile and hug. She would then pull her bowling scores from her purse and show off all her strikes and tell me where she had placed. She had such a sweet, funny and loving personality and she will be missed. Love to Linda and all of her family.
