"Oh Mary Lou, What a sad day for the many of us who loved you. For a long and rich lifetime, you were always there for us, never too busy to lend a hand, to lend an ear, or to give a hug. Always kind and gracious, drop dead funny, and generous to the bone, you deeply touched so many, and will live on in our hearts."
