Dear family of Mary Louise, I remember Mary Louise very well. I know that my mother, Lorraine Finley adored Mary Louise. I remember their many visits together and Mary Louise lit up the room when she arrived. She was great at making my mother laugh and such a fun loving person. I’m sure they are giggling and still great pals in the great beyond. Blessings o each of you as you say goodbye.
Aunt Lou will be missed by all of us! I have such good memories of being at Grandma and Grandpa Newmann’s house hanging out with everyone! So sorry to hear of her passing! Please accept our prayers and condolences even though we cannot be there. The Konzelmans (Julie)
