"Mary Lou was one of the first ladies I met at the Woodlands Senior Center and I have been playing cards with her for the past 2 years as well as being in the Red Hats.I knew her last name was Zuber but never knew her husbands name. During the services they mentioned Wayne and Mary Lou.This immediately rang a bell for me.My husband's uncle was Bud Feldheiser.I knew Jackie & Bud's best friends were Wayne & Mary Lou but I never connected the dots.Had I know before we could have had some pretty good conservations.As it was, I enjoyed knowing your mom.We all will miss her here at the Senior Center.She was loved by everyone!"
In loving memory of
