Mary Lou was a devoted friend and prayer partner. She always believed in the best of everyone and demonstrated the love of Christ in word and deed.
The beauty of God was evident through the works of her hands from my much beloved Birthday dinner from her and John ,to home decorating , and in her beautiful cards and personal notes to me.
Girl , you got to heaven before me! You must be dancing up there with the angels and having a tea party with Wendy!
You were an angel sent to earth. My deepest condolences to John and your family ,who you loved so deeply.
