What a wonderful lady worked with her at Johnnys she will sadly be missed
My heart is sad. She was a very special lady. Loved her.
My mother and Mary Lou were great friends. My mother named me after Mary Lou. There isn’t a day goes by that I wouldn’t think about their wonderful friendship. May her family remember the good things and cherish the wonderful memories of time spent with this amazing lady. R.I.P., my namesake.
