I am so sorry to hear of Mary Lou’s death. She and Larry were such great servants to FUMC, and such support to Steve while he served in MV. We got to worship with them, study with them, minister with them and to them. Please accept our condolences. I know that God will give you peace and comfort during this very difficult season. We rejoice with you that she is forever healed, and in heaven with her Savior and family and friends who have gone before her.

I hate to hear her of her passing . She was so precious. I pastor The Church Of God in MV and we went to the RCF every third Sunday to minister to the precious ladies that would come out and listen to us sing. She was always out there, clapping her hands and worshiping the Lord! We will certainly miss her!

Blessings on the family. I never got to meet Mrs. Adams, but as a member of FUMC Mountain View, I met her legacy everywhere. Her influence and good works remain, and there are many that still bless her.
She will be remembered for a long time yet.

Sorry for your loss!
I got to know her working with her at the Gideons banquets.
She was always so kind and pleasant to work with.
She wanted to make sure everyone who attended the banquets felt welcomed and would great them at the front door.
She left a legacy with the way she served the Lied and others.

Mary Lou and Larry were leaders in the Mountain View Gideon Camp for many years. When the rest of us get to Heaven, I trust that we will see many souls there because of Mary Lou's ministry in the Gideons Auxiliary. Last year she was aglow when she was able to hand out the Bibles at the Blossom's Assisted Living Scripture distribution. She was a fine lady and will be missed!
