Mary Lou was one of the nicest people I ever knew, I met her thru her brother Bill, we went to college and became friends and he invited me over to his house and I met Mary Lou, she was a jokester and would tease a lot plus after finding out she was a hair dresser she became the only person allowed to cut my hair, she did the best haircuts. I am so sorry for your loss of such a beautiful person.
So sorry to hear about my stepsisters Mary Lou passing!
Prayers & condolences for all the family!

Not many things in life are harder than loosing someone we love, Jehovah God promises to help us cope during such difficult times. 1Peter 5:7 says “while you throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.” Jehovah God provides us a beautiful hope at John 5:28,29 where it speaks of a “resurrection” Im so sorry for your loss. Please take comfort from God’s word.
