My Dearest Darling,
My world ended when you left. You took my heart with you and I am only left with beautiful memories that our Lord blessed us with. My joy and happiness turned into sadness and mourning. I will alway stay married to you and await the day that I will join you in Heaven, where we will have eternal life. Oh how glorious that moment will be.
I miss you so; your kindness, soft heart, your beautiful smile. I miss having coffee with you in the morning and talking about our beautiful family, the boys, and, of course, my morning ‘besito”.
I will always remember the first moment I saw you. We were so young and “skinny”. It was our freshman year in Reagan High School and we were only 15 years old. You and Dolores were walking up the Durham Bridge. I remember you had a pink dress on, long hair, and the most beautiful eyes. You smiled at me and that was all it took. I remember we were inseparable. If we were not together we would be on the phone. I love you so much, honey. To me, you were the most beautiful lady in the world. I always whispered to you how beautiful you looked when we were in restaurants or resorts, and you always responded “You’ve been looking”.
We lived a fairytale. We did so much in our lives, our Lord blessed us. In our younger days we would pull our catamaran boat to Canyon Lake, and Lake Travis. There was camping, sailing in the Hill County Lakes and our vacations to Cozumel, Cancun, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and Cabo. Just you and I, we were like kids. Oh we still had so much to do.
Meme, Our Father has been so gracious and loving towards us. He has given me a vision of you in Heaven. I dream of you two, sometimes three, times a week. It is almost like since I can’t see you during the day, our Lord lets me dream about you at night. 
My beautiful darling, I am thankful because of our Heavenly Father’ blessings. Through you, we were blessed with two sons and three grandsons. 
I love you forever and ever, 
Your Husband, always

Aunt Lulu, 
Thank you so much for being such a wonderful, beautiful and special ROCK of our family.  You just truly made everything better.  You mean so much to me.  I am so grateful to have been loved by you.  I will miss you every single day for the rest of my life and NOTHING brings me comfort EXCEPT knowing that I will see you again and that you are there dancing on the golden streets of heaven with your family who were there to meet you and with our GOD!  I love you with my whole heart.  Every time I see a butterfly, I will whisper to it "I LOVE YOU TIA" so that butterfly can fly to to heaven and remind you.   I'll love you longer! 

💔 😘 ❤ 😪🌹 😥
I'm shocked and saddened. 
You are such a good person. I remember the good times with you, especially when you let me live with you and Charlie.  I can't thank you enough for being my friend. I'm so sorry we drifted apart...more than once. I hope I'll see you again one day. 
Love, Margo 🌹❤

Charlie, Carlos and Jay, I want to give you and the family my sincere condolences on the passing of your wife, your mother, and grandma Meme. LuLu was a very dear friend of mine for many years and even though we didn't talk all the time, we loved each other. I will miss her dearly but I know your suffering cannot be compared to anyone else and I pray that God will somehow make this journey easy for each of you. 
With much surrow, Margo Perez 

Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time and sending prayers to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy to you, Carlos and Mr. Charlie, and your family.  Mary Lou was so kind to me every time I interacted with her.  Her love for family was clear for everyone to witness.  May God's peace and love envelop each of you as you mourn her loss.  God Bless each of you.

Please accept my condolences. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. 

Prima, I remember all the  good times we used to have when all your family would come to  El Rancho to visit us. Great memories. Our condolences to all the family. 

So many good memories Mary Lou and I had in junior and senior high school!   We were best friends forever!!!   I am terribly heartbroken and shocked to hear of her passing.  She will be missed ❤️❤️  Loved her!!

I will forever remember Marylou’s bright smile and infectious laugh!  She was such a loving and caring lady and always knew the right thing to say to make everyone feel welcome and at ease.  I was Blessed to know her. She will be truly missed by a multitude of family and friends. I pray for her family who I love and cherish with all my heart.  Rest In Peace sweet Marylou. 

It was an honor to have Mary Lou in our life. She will be missed. 

Our thoughts, prayers and deep condolences to the Reyes family, friends and loved ones.
Mary Lou will be missed and it was an honor to have been her front door neighbors.  With caring love,
Joel Diaz, Susy Diaz, Joel Diaz Jr., Alejandro, Sofia and Noemi Garcia (Susy's mother.)

I remember meeting Aunt Meme for the first time at the Kemal house. She immediately made me feel welcome and as if she had know me forever. She definitely had a way to make people feel like part of the family. 

The picture I uploaded was at The RBR at an Easter event . Definitely one of her favorite times was being at the ranch surrounded by family. 

If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane We would walk up to heaven And bring you back again No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY.  Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one will ever know But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the Happy Times. Life still, has much in store. Love you Mary Lou, May God Bless

I met Mary Lou through her sister in law, Lydia,  I saw her at several functions.  She was s close to her sister in laws. I always enjoyed what a sweet and lovely person she was. Last time I said hello to her at Dillard’s. Gave me a hug and we started talking about our grandkids.  Her eyes lit up when she talked about them. My deepest condolences go to her husband and family. May God  always keep her in Eternal Glory 

Mary Lou was a loving and caring friend to me and so many others.
Her twinkle in her eyes, her smile and jokes will be missed, but 
her legacy will go on.  She is resting in our Lord's arms and at peace. 
In Loving Memory,
Yolanda Cruz Garza

Hasta siempre ….

Marylou had the most infectious laugh. We have so many wonderful memories that will forever fill our hearts. RIP Marylou 🙏

My beautiful sweet Mary Lou, such a kind beautiful soul. I don’t think I could ever find the right words to describe Mary Lou. Every time I seen her I couldn’t help but to smile, she made me happy, she was always there for me. She always made me feel like family and always made me feel loved. You will be missed my Lou Lou!! Until we meet again 🤍

To know Aunt Mary Lou was to love her. She was so special, I could never have enough words. I will miss you. When I hear George Strait you always come to mind & you always will. It is not goodbye, it is see you later. I love you!
