Harold 35 years have past since we were in Supply together at the VA Medical Center. Mary Lou would bring Rum cakes for our Christmas. She was one excellent cook and super lady. Will keep you and family in our prayers.
Another hole in our hearts to be filled with memories and love for a beautiful, kind, loving woman. She was a good neighbor and good to my boys. I also understand she was a very good cook. I will miss her smiling face.
We are so sorry for your loss. May your family find comfort in each other and the Lord. We are lifting your family up in prayer and are sending condolences.
