So sad to hear about Mary Lou….she was a neighbor across the road after my Mom married Stan Crowther. I babysat the kids as I remember. She was a lovely lady. Her son and I see each other at Meadville Medical Center when I volunteer and I know he was worried about her health recently. You all have my sympathy and fond memories. Judy
Mary Lou was a lovely, gracious lady who will be missed by all who knew her. She taught our daughter piano lessons way back in the seventies and it was always a joy to be in her company. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this sad time. Jim and Sue Wheelock
