Mary Lou was a volunteer in the after school reading program at Sherwood School. She became part of our extended community and while reading with the children both Mary Lou's and the children's enjoyment were evident. We thank her for giving her time to our school, it was a pleasure to have her work with us and she will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her loved ones.

Marylou was one of the first people we met in our neighbourhood and we loved her spirit and spunk. Her authenticity and warmth was infectious. She had a servant's heart and boldly went wherever called to serve. She knew and loved God and Jesus and her understanding of the word and His calling for us encouraged us often in our own walk and trials. Marylou will be remembered fondly for her honestly, exuberance, integrity and grace. She was blessed to be a blessing. Our condolences go to all her friends and family who will surely miss her light and laughter. - Posted by: Craig and Heidi Steffano (Friends) on: Jun 01, 2016
