Condolences for
Mary Louise Varricchione-Lyon

As a member of The Joyful Singers for seven years I will miss Mary Louise and her passion for good music. Her will to keep on keeping on even in the face of a chronic shortage of breath was an inspiration to me and I learned so much from her. Requiescat In Pace, Mary Louise.

I will always remember the wonderful time we spent at her Vermont home with her friends of many years. May all of us who were shared part of our lives with her be comforted by such memories. We were blessed to have her in our lives. May her family be comforted by such memories.

Mary Lou was such a loving, spiritual woman. The letters she used to write to my mother, Madeline Varricchione, were always so warm and beautifully written. It was so nice to be able to share her birthday last August at John & Joanne's home. May George & George IV find peace, comfort and fond memories.

My dear friend, you have been an inspiration to me throughout all these years. I am happy that you were a part of my life. I will miss you.

Mary Louise, you will be greatly missed. As a member of the Joyful Singers, I respected your great musical knowledge and direction and enjoyed sharing a joke with you once in a while. My condolences to your family.
