To the Family of Mary Lou: I was so sorry to hear that your Loved One has passed away. May God bless and give all of you peace at this time while you are grieving. I am from southern Illinois and spent a lot of my time at the home of Alberta Vest as she lived by my grandparents and I also knew most of the family. I know that you will all miss Mary Lou but we know she has been called to a better place and she will be welcomed by those that have gone on before her what a reunion that will be. Take good care of each other. With my deepest sympathy, Marilyn (Shehorn) Tarbutton
