I can't believe Mary Lou is no longer here. From the first time I met her, Jim, Dan, Tommy, Michael and the people at Covenant I could feel her caring, sincerity, commitment, and charisma, that anyone who met her immediately felt. I feel that we quickly became friends and trusted business associates and she was a true professional that I felt priledged to have associated with Amerihome. Mary Lou achieved so much in her life that i deeply respected, during a differant time, when it was dificult for a woman to succeed in business...she was a powerhouse, a dedicated and loving mother, wife, grandmother, a generous, warm friend and business associate. She was there for so many people and cared about all their needs, wants and desires and spread herself to give to everyone what they needed and wanted.

My deepest sympathy to Jim, Tom, Kathy, Dan, Eva, her parents and grandchildren, and all her family..you all should feel a great sense of pride in Lou, her accomplishments in life and the wonderful testimony she has left in you.

I will miss you ML, you were a very special person...Your friend, Nick

I was very fortunate to be able to know & work with Mary Lou. She was a true professional with this amazing zest for life. She taught me that you should never give up on things because there was always a way to get the job done! To Cathy & Dan and Tom & Eva and their families - my thoughts, heart & prayers go out to you. As well as to the rest of Mary Lou's family and friends. And to Mary Lou thank-you for touching so many lives the way you did, may you be at peace now.

Losing Mary Lou is like losing a member of my family. Since my parents (the Bumsteds) moved to Burr Ridge in 1987, Mary Lou has been an important and intimate part of our lives. Life gave her no challenge she couldn't face, and she faced her cancer bravely. She was a successful and glamourous woman with a heart of pure gold, and I'll always remember her that way. I'll remember her alongside any number of treasured family events, particularly a gorgeous bridal shower she threw for me. She traveled to Dallas for my step-sister's wedding. She threw the best holiday parties and was a naturally gifted hostess. And I can't remember a time I ever saw her look anything less than fabulous--those gorgeous eyes and smile, that incredible figure, the perfect makeup, manicure and hair, looking lovely in a fur riding around in her Jag. And did she ever love her children, grandchildren, her husband and her friends. I was so privileged to be one of the many of them.



God bless you, 'Lou! You'll forever be in my heart, being fabulous.



Love,



Jacquie Dutton Hart
