Chris & Jimmy-
A real bummer. Mary Lou was the best! Glad she's finally done with all the "stuff" she had to endure over the last year, but she'll be missed. Your Mom holds a special place in my heart because she was kind enough to actually buy a set of CutCo knives from me when everyone else gave me the "Heisman". It's true; she did! And all kidding aside, my deepest sympathies to both of you. I'm sorry for your loss and I'll always remember the kindness of Mary Lou!
Love, Tommy

To Jimmy & Chris:
Your mom was a wonderful person, I am sure I do not need to tell you that. I always enjoyed visiting with her. Her grandchildren were her joys, and they will remember her fondly. It is not easy, but remember the good times and how she lived, that will help.

Chris and family,

Although I never met your mother, over the years many people commented about her kindness. When Mr. Novy talked about Mrs. Novy, there was always a sparkle in his eyes. I am so sorry for your loss. There are not words that can replace your mother, but there are friends to listen and understand. Gia
