Marilou Hardesty

Dear Jana and Family, I was deeply saddened to hear about Marilou’s passing and wanted to extend my heartfelt condolences to you all. Marilou was a remarkable woman, full of authenticity and common sense. I cherish the many fond memories I have of her and your family. When we were neighbors on Miles, I remember how our moms would enjoy their coffee and chats after sending us off to school, before diving into their daily tasks. Those were simpler times, and I feel truly blessed to have been part of the Hardesty’s lives. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. With love, Julie Bare

Marilou and I were best friends from high school and still after all these years. We did our fair share of getting in trouble as teenagers do but we always had each other's back. Time and life took us down different roads but when we called each other it was like the separation didn't exist. Loved her since of humor and adventurous spirit.
