All my sympathy to the family at this time.
Darrell – Our prayers are with you and your family as you mourn your mother's passing. May God surround you all with His peace and give you strength during the coming days.
Darrell, So sorry for your loss..Nancy
Darrell,I'll always remember the sound of her voice, as I remember my moms also. She was always concerned where you were going and what you were doing and with whom. She was a true Mom. I know you and your family will miss her. My condolences, D.
Please accept my deepest sympathy and regrets that I was not able to attend the service for Louise. I hold fond memories of the friend-ship we shared from Central School on to McNeese Jr. College….and especially of her wonderful whistling talent. It was a nice surprise to see her and meet some of the family at Lock Park with LCHS Alumniand Kilties several years ago and I wish she had been able to attend our Class Reunions to reminisce more.May God bless and comfort you in this difficult time.
She was a wonderful lady. Always offered food and drink when we came to visit. I remember her at all the ball games..high school, college,etc. God bless the entire family.
Soon you will be reunited with papa! I hope we have made you proud and you are always looking down on us! Love, Your Granddaughter! P.S. Hope you are still rockin' your RED lipstick!!!
