Aunt Mary Lou,
Mary Lou and Jo Anne= Louanne
Yes, that makes me a proud niece and Goddaughter!
Speaking to Aunt MaryLou.
Every baby doll I ever received was named
"Mary Lou"!!
When I played house with Christy Lenon, it was a given, "I was Mary Lou"
I practiced walking down Freemont street 'like a DUCK', so I could look like, "aunt Mary Lou"
When I was 15 years old and got chosen for 9 th grade Homecoming Court. Dad called aunt Mary Lou, to see if "she "would let a gentlemen take me. She said No! (but probably for the best...)
I confided in Aunt ML that I considered the religious life, but 'I REALLY liked beer'... She said oh oh...
Aunt Mary Lou, Uncle Ed, Eddie, Danny, and Billy Boy, contributed to so very many happy childhood memories. Dad had a sincere respect for aunt ML, and mom had a sister friendship that was such a Blessing !
With the voice of an Angel she flies among us now. I know she will always be with us and uniting us to Dad, Uncle Keith, Grm Baumann
( to whom I thank my lucky star. GOD), and Grmp Baumann. As I live out my life I sincerely thank God that I was born into this family.
Tonight I am teaching my 2nd graders to prepare for First Holy Communion.
I know you are one more heavenly Angel by me to talk to aunt MaryLou. And you are at Peace.
Please shine your Love upon us!
Until we meet again, Hugs and All My Love!!
Louanne. Xo
