Mary Lou was my first boss and such a sweet, kind, loving person with a beautiful soul. Although small in stature, she had a tremendous heart. I loved her and enjoyed seeing her on my trips home. She was an inspiration to me. God bless her and the family. I send her family much love and sympathy.
Very special lady was proud to know her and members of her family
Love and sympathy from Evelyn White and daughters.
