Dear Family of Mary Lou,
My family will gather again this summer in Galveston at the end of July. We will miss Mary Lou terribly as we gather at the beach, she has always come to play games with us and join us for dinner or lunch. We know that she will be sharing all of our Joy from up above filling our memories of times with her.
In my last visit with Mary Lou she said, "We have had some wonderful times together haven't we, it has been just wonderful!" Of course, I agreed as we held hands and laughed. There are many wonderful memories, two that come to my mind first are, one the day that I had the honor of pinning her with her AXO Fifty Year Pin. The second is the day that she toured me and my mom around Galveston, showing us all the "hidden jewels" of Galveston. I loved it, we also had dinner at a wonderful restaurant and watched the cruise ships leave. Oh, one other, the day she won my painting during a raffle, she screamed "I won, Oh Lesa, My Love Child"! We laughed about this for ages!
There is an Alpha Chi Omega ceremony that I will be performing in honor of Mary Lou this summer at the beach. For many years I have been proud to call Mary Lou my sorority sister and my friend. We grew up in different parts of the country and were at different stages of life, but this did not keep us from relating to each other on all of levels of life. We shared a bond that has a motto "Together Let Us Seek The Heights" I know the Heights of Heaven have welcomed her as she has struck the Omega chord on her earthly Lyre of life--A life well lived.
With love,
Lesa Hooker
