SAN ANTONIO – Social distancing guidelines had everyone celebrating Easter a little differently this year, but it didn’t stop 9-month-old Baker from seeing his beloved great-grandma, Mary Lou Shussler.
Shussler has lived on the South Side for more than 60 years and loves her great-grandson Baker.

Emily is married to John Shussler and Mary Lou is his grandmother.
“My husband is the one holding him to see her through the window. Baker is obsessed with his great-grandma, but hasn’t been able to see her due the coronavirus,” Emily told KSAT.
