I'm so sorry for your loss. I have many good memories of your mom. I knew your mom in high school. We also ran around after we moved to Des Moines. Mary Louise, Cathy, Val, Donna and I use to have some good times. I can still see your mom singing "I found my thrill on blueberry hill." Although its been many years since we talked - she will always bring a smile to my face.

To Mary Louise's Family,
I was saddened and shocked to hear of your great loss. Mary Louise's picture looks the same as I remember her. It has been a few years since I last saw her, but at that time she spoke very highly of her daughters and grandchildren. There was no other like Mary Louise - she was a friend to many people. My sincere condolences to you.

Dear Angie and Vicky,
I cannot express how sorry I am hearing about the loss of your mother
and my heart goes out to the both of you and your families. Though I did not have the pleasure of seeing Mary that often, I've always enjoyed her company. I know she was very proud of her daughters and was grateful for the beautiful grandchildren she was blessed with.
I wish Nikki and I could be there to help you through this sad time. I know
your friends are there to give you love and support and help you through this.
You have my deepest sympathy.
All my love,
MA (Mary Ann)

Dear Vick and Angie, I was devastated when I read about Mary this morning.Mary was the one true love of my life and I foolishly let her slip away.I have regretted that ever since.Stay strong and always remember that Mary will live on in our hearts forever.
