Mary Lou was my nurse at Lincoln County Hospital with my first son in 1969. She was also my nurse in Huntsville when my second son was born in 1973. She was a wonderful nurse and a wonderful lady. Thinking of you all at the time.
Mary Lou was my nurse when our first child was born at the old Lincoln county hospital 51 1/2 years ago. That was when they kept u in hospital a long time (5) days. It was a great time and enjoyed Mary Lou and the other nurse so much. She was a kind loving person and an awesome nurse. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this most difficult time.
