So sorry to hear of Allan’s passing.
Mary Lou and Allan lived across the street from our home when we were first married. Mary Lou often did my Mom’s hair. Naomi would sit on my mom’s knee and have a story read to her when Mary Lou did Mom’s hair. I often saw Mary Lou and Allan at Skippers. They were a lovely couple. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Durnin and Denomme Families
