Mary Lou Beigh had the most beautiful heart and kindest soul I ever knew. She was a best friend to my Mother and friend to our family. She was a gem. Thinking of you Bob, Rob and Family.

Dear Bob, our hearts ache. We are just learning about Mary Lou. We are so sad. She was such a sweet, & kind person. We are especially sad that we have a conflict tomorrow afternoon and will not be able to attend her services.

We send our love & prayers to you and your family. May God's comforting hand be with you all.

Love, Al & Janet Holtzscher

I met Mary Lou at 50 North playing bridge in the Transplanters group. I was a newbie and she was always so patient with my game play and was just a kind and gentle soul. My condolences to her family, friends and all who mourn her loss.
