    Mary Lou, you were such a wonderful part of our lives. You have now gone home to God, but you are forever in our hearts. We have so many, many wonderful memories of you and the times we shared. We are praying for you and hope you are watching over all of us in the wonderful spirit of love that you shared all the years of your life. You will be missed – but never forgotten. God by with you and with your family.

    Sr. Mary Lou, you were the kind of person that makes God proud of his creation. If more of us were like you the world would be a much better place. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of your visits to our family in Indiana and Colorado. You were so very kind to people while at the same time being a hoot to be around. You are with God now and he is lucky to have your company. I know that you will keep an eye on those of us who cared for you. Peace be with you.

    Love,
    Bill Wolfe II
