My beloved aunt was my hero in every way. She was honest, courageous, advocated for all of us, protector, had integrity and intelligence, an inspiring artist, and she loved us forever. Thank you, Mary Lu.
Love you, Auntie Lulu. I just might get an ugly geranium in your honor.
Lu, I have always felt such admiration, respect and love for you and how you lived. You opened your home to all of us kids and provided a safe and welcoming environment which you moderated in your own unique gruff, loving and salty manner. Your creativity, intelligence and humor was an inspiration. You are missed.
