Oh Chris so sad to hear about your Husband. I will of course keep him and your Mother in my prayers.
Sissy may be a dog, but I believe they can help in many ways to comfort you. My dogs and cats over the years have had their share of tears from me and it helped I think. Your are never alone.
As far as MaryLou goes none on the board have heard of her, but if we do we will post.
Take care and come around more often. 
Cheryl
