South San Francisco, CA April 15, 2022
Mary Lou and Dick Fall left this world within a week of each other, always to be together.
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I’m bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! Not in springtime
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!
Their love was so strong always hand in hand.
They passed away within a week of each other and are once again and will always be together.
Dick happened to live next door to a teenage friend of Mary Lou…
That’s where they met and the 68-year love story began.
