We lost a special person this past week. Mary Louise and I were friends for many years. I have so many fond memories of our times together. We were neighbors for many years. We shared lots of afternoons together over coffee and tea. Even when I moved away from West Jefferson, we still stayed in touch with phone calls, lunches and letters.
Mary Louise was sun a special, loyal person. She truly loved being a wife, Mother, homemaker and friend. She was so proud of her daughters and their families. She put her whole heart into everything she did.
Even thought she was coping with health issues the last several years, when we visited she was always cheerful and concerned about others. Our visit always uplifted me.
I will always love and cherish my memories of Mary Louise. She touched my life in many ways. I will truly miss her.
Prayers and love to her family,
Farell Ping
