Our Mother moved to Huronview in February. MaryLou was the 1st friend she made. She made our Mother feel at-home in her new surroundings with her kindness and beautiful smile.
Sometimes the simplest things can leave an impression for a lifetime. Our family was thankful for Mary Lou. Thinking of you during these difficult days. Jenny Passchier and family

We met Mary Lou when my mother in law went to live at Huronview. She became part of a Ella’s card group. Ella and Sandra and Mary Lou bonded and had a wonderful friendship for many good years. I am sure the ladies were there to meet her and the card games will be able to start up again in Heaven. Mary Lou was a beautiful soul who shall be greatly missed by all who were honoured to have been part of her life. Rest In Peace our dear friend. Raymond and Cheryl Bertrand and our Furry friend Sparky.
