Mary Lou Ayala

Sunday morning at the FUMC service, Rev. Jon asked that we--congregation--keep the Ayala Family in our hearts & prayers.--Done--A member

We are so sorry for your loss. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do. She was a beautiful women and will be missed. Our prayers are with you. Keith and Suzette Evans

I'll always remember my Tia being a kind and compassionate woman. Even as a child I always thought her different than the rest of my family with her gentle spirit and soft voice. Getting to know her, two very important things struck me; first, as far as I could tell, there wasn't a mean bone on this woman, she was very loving and always spoke very gently and kind towards me, and secondly I could tell my Tio Gilbert loved her very much.

She certainly holds a special place in my memory and heart. I love her and my Tio very much and I am so thankful that they found each other and lived such wonderful lives together. Rest in peace Tia and always know that we all love you.

Tio,
I am sorry for the loss of your wife, my Tia Mary Lou. I hope, in this time of sorrow, that you can remember the good times that you two shared. And in those memories find comfort in what was. I pray that you find peace in this terrible time.
love

our prayers with her family during this hard time. Heaven has gained and angel ... may she R.I.P

Mary Lou was a cherished friend. I first met her when she and Gilbert brought in their beloved wolf hybrid Dakota into my veterinary clinic. We quickly became friends. We shared the same interests in dogs and dog shows and traveled together as far away as Denver to compete. Mary Lou and Gilbert blessed me with 2 special gifts-my dogs Stellar and Flair. Mary Lou was a very kind, giving person and I will cherish my memories of her forever. Her courage through her illness was inspirational. I will miss her but I know that Heaven has gained an angel.

Mary Lou was a kind soul and a wonderful person.

I'll always remember visiting her and my Tio Gilbert at their house, especially at holidays when she and her mother would make a really large and delicous spread. My Tia was always so gracious in welcoming the chaos of my large family into their home.

I'll remember how she would let me read her books and recommend ones she thought I would like (Nevada Barr was a favorite). And tell me about her and my tio's adventures with horses and wild animals.

I'll remember how much she loved her dogs (Shasta, Dakota) and the outdoors. She was a lady it's true, but like many a southern woman, you could tell she had real spirit and gumption just beneath the surface. I'll remember her kind smile and gentle spirit. She was a lady. And a lady always knows when to leave.

Much love to my Tio Gilbert during this time and always.
