To the family of Mary Lou,

I had the pleasure of working with Mary Lou implementing new accounting software for the school district in 1998. My travels took me to many school districts throughout NYS but Whitney Point and Mary Lou was always my favorite to visit. Mary Lou always had wonderful stories that had me rolling all day. She was excellent at her job and I'm lucky that I had a chance to work with her. I also recall a never-ending candy jar on her desk that I helped empty every time I worked there!

I'm truly sorry to hear of her passing, I hope that your large family finds strength within to comfort each other. God Bless. Kelly Suba
