Hey Bev,was so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing.What a wonderful lady she was! You and your family are in my prayers!
Mary Lou was a genuinely good person. Jane and I send our sincere condolences to Tom, Bruce and his family, Beverly and her family. Mary Lou will be sorely missed.
Mary Lou’s sense of humor was indeed top of the league with smiles for all. Her involvement in music groups was outstanding as was her many volunteer hours at the Warren Senior Center.
But for Jane and me, we will most remember and cherish her constant concern and care for her mother-in-law, Cora, during many years at her home on Connecticut Ave. Mary Lou’s experience working in an elderly care facility in Warren certainly was most valuable in her care of Cora.
Now we hope Tom learns to manage his loneliness, while we know that will not be an easy task. Our thoughts will be constantly with you, Tom.
Bev and family,
So very sorry for your loss! Much love and sympathy to you and yours. God Bless!
Our sincere condolences to Tom, and Beverly, Bruce, and their children. How fortunate for us to have been their neighbors and friends for over 30 years! Keeping you all in our prayers…
Sending prayers to you and your family. She has always been a lovely women to see in church
Tom,
Know that Mary Lou will be missed. Her beautiful smile, the songs she sang, and her dedication to serve her church and community. Tom, you are in my prayers.
