    Aunt MaryLou was always a kind and thoughtful person who spoke gently to all. I was only 9 years old when Uncle Donald took the plunge and married MaryLou Mattox; we boys thought it was comical that he saw all four of his younger sisters get married before he did. MaryLou was a good wife and great mother…what better recommendation is there for a life well lived!
