I will miss her so much bowling with me on our team and bantering with her by accidentally on purpose calling her Mary Ann instead of Mary Lou. So glad I got to know her and all the kindness she always showed by wanting to please everyone with gifts and great conversation. She always made me feel great about myself. The saying People may forget what you say but will never forget how you made them feel' definitely fit her because I always felt great after talking with her. I give thanks and I'm blessed for being able to know her and spend some time with her for the last few years on the bowling league. Will miss her always.
I send my condolences to the family and hope all the great memories of her will help with the sadness of her passing.
Love. From a bowling buddy.

With deepest condolences and sincere sympathy to Lea, Ricky and families. Mary Lou, the Gratest, most fun loving and sincere bowling partner one can have. Thank you for your tutelage, patience and all those fun times we shared bowling together.

Mary Lou, A great lady, beautiful person, wonderful friend. We drifted since we retired but I thought of her often. Wish I could go watch her bowl! My condolences to her family, she always spoke of you with love and great affection.

Until we meet again, I will remember your laugh and your sense of humor. And that you always called me "little one." Miss you Mary Lou.
