Joan and Kathy,
I am very sorry for your loss. Your mom was a talented woman. I remember her as kind and encouraging. My mom sends her condolences. She always cared for her sister-in-law and remembers both of you kindly.

Joan, Kathy and family…
My sincerest condolences on the loss of dear Mary Lou. Whenever I will tackle a jig saw puzzle, I will be reminded of the years of challenges and with her. Through her choices of themes of history, literature, Broadway, design, etc we had boundless conversations during the completion of a good puzzle (only one of which we gave up!). Rest in peace, dear Friend…
Mary Lou will be greatly missed. I learned many embroidery and lace techniques from her over the years. Always enjoyed her Christmas Anylace gatherings. You are all in my prayers at this difficult time.

Sending deepest sympathy to the Family
I am a High School friend from MSJA and sorority sister and we did a lot together. In early days of marriage we got together a lot until John’s untimely death. Have been thinking of Mary Lou a lot.
