My heart felt sympathies go out to the family and friends of Mary Lou. I will always keep her in my heart and prayers.



Mary Lou was a strong person, it is no wonder she fought the cancer as she did, it did not surprise me, she is a fighter. She was multi-talented with her yarn skills, and always had needles in hand making something for someone.



Since she moved away from 44th & Russell, we have not had our lengthy visits, walks up and down the parkway, breakfast outings and hearty laughs over tea. She loved to collect owls and to putz in her garden. I missed that and will miss her humor and friendship.



Her family was lucky to have such a wonderful person in their lives, even with the normal ups and downs everyone goes through. She was one of a kind. She loved her family and always had news about events and additions to the family. She loved all of you and never lose sight of that!



Love yah Mary Lou, and miss you much!

The Things I remember about my Aunt Mary Lou we her larger then life laughter when telling a good story. She also had inherited the Personious knitting gene. She made beautiful sweaters and baby clothes for all the new members of the family. I'll miss her stories and laughter and the warm smile she always greeted you with.

I will never forget when Aunt Mary would babysit Patti and Me in the mid 1950s, she always sang the Lords prayer to me before I went to sleep. After she married, I got to babysit Michael as a baby. It was only once or twice, but she would have butterscotch pudding for me to snack.

Aunt Mary loved to knit and knit both my daughter and grand-daughter sweaters.

In my whole adult life and through many moves she never missed sending me a Christmas card. That always impressed me. I will really miss that.

Rest in peace and confort you fought a good fight.
