MaryLu was a pillar of the family.

We of the "Florida Caseys" [descendents of Ernest R. Casey, Jr. and Kay] share our love and condolences with the "California Caseys" [descendents of Vincent E. Casey and MaryLu].

While we are mourning the loss of Mary Lu, others are rejoicing to meet her behind the veil. I find great comfort in knowing that Mom was greeted by Vince, Dorothy, Eileen and all who preceded her. She is truly home again.

"For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."

~ Kahlil Gibran

Until we meet again, may God Hold you in the palm of his hand.

Mary Lu was a very special Aunt to all of the Morrison sibblings. Not only because of the way she affected our lives in so many numerous ways throughout the years but also the way she loved, treated, and respected our mother. The unconditional love she gave our Mom during those final years of Dorothy's life made an impression on me that I have never forgotten. Thank you again Mary Lu and we will always love you.

Love you Mom........

Love to all of you as you work through your loss. JoAnn

Dear Cousins Sean, Lynn, Colin and Paige,

This is a sad day that we have lost your Mom and the Patriarch of the Cameron Clan. I certainly feel a lot of pain in losing my loving Aunt Mary Lu. I have loved her dearly from the time I can remember and as a child. She has always been such an important person in my life and I wish I had been allowed many more years to have her here near me where we could visit and laugh for hours on end.

I have always known Mary Lu as an extraordinary person in so many ways and I considered her a wonderful friend. She was bright and ambitious in her younger years and even in her seventies. When I was in my early thirties and she helped me get my head on straight when I lost my way, I learned so much from her. For that I have always felt so blessed having her caring support and being in her home for those 3 months helped me to reach down and pick myself up to rise to the role model she portrayed for me.

I will miss Mary Lu every single day and will always carry wonderful memories of her in my heart. I know she knew this, but I will always be eternally grateful for all you cousins did to help her get back to this area and to be at peace and mainly comfortable in these last weeks. I was able to talk to her to tell her how much I love her and to give her one last kiss on her cheek and I know she heard.

Love to you all with sincere condolences,

Cousin Jane Holbrook
