Rest in peace Aunt Mary Lou..Thank you for being a part of my life & always being there for me..You will be forever missed.. Love you.. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11:25
Barb & Dena, my sympathy and condolences.
My sincere condolences for your loss. Mary Lou was such a wonderful and kind woman. She will be greatly missed by me and my family.
Mary Lou was my patient a few weeks ago at Good Samaritan. I asked her if she was related to any of the Oulrey's from Salem, and she got a big smile on her face and said yes she was. We talked about Gary, Terry, and Peggy after I told her I'd went to school with them. It was obvious she was very fond of them. So sorry for your loss.
The cycle of life has come full circle as it should. We will always remember the good times - the rodeos, the auctions, your spending the holidays with our family. The coffee was always on and those wonderful cookies you baked became a family tradition for us. No longer in our life to share but in our hearts you will always be there.
We have many happy memories of Mary Lou and Cotton on our farm. Cotton was always doing something crazy with the horses and Mary Lou was always trying to keep him going in one direction. They both had a heart of gold and will be missed. Our deepest sympathy on your loss. Shirley Williamson and daughters: Kathleen, Annette, and Susan.
