Dear Jan, Lori, and families: We extend our sympathy to you at the loss of your mother. We will always remember Lou as the kind, caring, and helpful person that she was. When hardly able to do so, she still wanted to help Jan at the Metro market. We counted her as our friend. May God comfort and sustain you during this difficult time. Rog and Marian Mulder
