Mom just told me of Mary Lou passing and I am deeply sorry for you loss, I know who special Mary Lou was to her family and friend. When I was living in Mn. I spent every weekend with Mary Lou and Maria and she treated me like a daughter. She was a very special person and will always have a special place in my heart.

Haider clan, My deepest sympathy to all of you upon my godmother's, your mother's, passing. I have many fond memories of the ol' days at the Haider house. Many of those memories revolve around Mary in the kitchen at the ol' house laughing and chasing kids in and out. Her smiling face will always be with me. May you find comfort in memories of your mom. With sympathy,
