Throughout the years, she has made many loyal clients and friends. Mary Lou had a passion for shopping and especially finding "that really good sale". She and Gil enjoyed many road trips, exploring old mines in Colorado. When they visited the Grand Canyon she got out of the car was overwhelmed by the heat and looked at the Grand Canyon and said, when you've seen one canyon you've seen them all. She had a very special place in her heart for her special pets. If there were ever a family celebration, you would know that the event would take place at Gil and Mary Lou's.
