Words can not express how sorry I feel for your loss of Mary Louise. Such a gracious, great lady that I will always remember. I am not able to come tomorrow to the service as I am still working and high school students still need direction. If you need anything please just give me a call as I do understand. Rememeber you must tell people what you need as they have not experienced this grief thing and can not read our minds. Just let family and friends help you for awhile until you feel up to it but do try to keep busy as that helps alot. Marlene##imported-begin##Marlene Harnish(Mrs. John)##imported-end##

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved wife - Bill. I will always remember her bright smile and manner when I saw her with you at some of our Rotary events over my years in our club. I know she was very active in Women of Rotary and know how much she valued the work of Tacoma #8 over the years. I will miss her Bill.##imported-begin##Jim Henderson##imported-end##

Mary Louise was one of the most gracious, kind, fun loving ladies we could have ever met. We remember President's Day (Rotary)barbecues at the Rowleys where she would bring a favorite salad, side dish or dessert to share with us as we watched the guys waterski and Tom Hosea barbecue up the main course. We will miss her presence at the many Rotary functions and also bumping into her at lunch on the waterfront for some catching up and bright conversation. We plan to memorialize her with a gift in her name to the Paul Henry Titus Antique Carousel Project at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium that will be completed in 2005. She would have loved watching the children of all ages ride the hand carved and painted horses and endangered animals, each a work of art, doing their own ballet to the delightful tunes of a band organ.##imported-begin##Kathleen & Rick Olson##imported-end##
