While it has been some time since we have actually seen each other,we have managed to keep in touch through telephone calls, greeting cards and notes. Mary-Lou has always expressed extreme love for her children and grandchildren. She never lost that enthusiasm and spark for life. Pat and I will miss her friendly voice and happy attitude. We express our love and condolences to her children, grandchildren, family and friends.

Mary Lou was a wonderful neighbor. She was always so thoughtful and appreciative and always very grateful for whatever we did for her. She will be missed very much. We will remember her delicious spritz and cranberry orange cookies and her mini cranberry loaf. She was so generous with her baking. Prayers and deepest sympathy to her family.
