Sending my deepest sympathy. I will always remember Mary Lou. She was wonderful helper at my wedding to Bernie Masyga in 1953.
We were saddened to hear that Mary Lou passed away. She was such a sweet and thoughtful lady. Even though we weren’t related, she would include us in their Hand and Foot card games, always made us feel welcome and served some wonderful treats. She will be greatly missed.
