Dear Francis and Nell,
I am sorry to hear about the death of your sister Louise. I remember going to her house for get togethers when Wynn and I were young.I hope memories like these will bring you joy. May you both be comforted by Jehovah's promises of a resurrection when we will be united with all of our loved ones we have lost in death (John 5:28-29). You are both in my prayers.
Love, Susan Upton-Slaughter

Henry, I am sorry to hear of your sister's death. I hope you remember me, we worked together at Savannah Beverage many years ago. It's been so long since I have seen you or spoke with you. I do want you to know that I am thinking of you at this time.

My mother, Frances McCumber Thompson, was Aunt E's sister who loved her dearly and shared in Aunt E's beliefs and hopes of a resurrection. I know without a doubt that those beliefs will comfort not only my Mother but also my Aunt Nell. I send my love to you both and hope that the two of you take time to remember and share the wonderful memories you both have of your sister. All my love to you both.

So sorry to see Aunt Louise's obituary in the newspaper today. I am a niece by marriage (My mother was Hoover's sister, Christine Durrence Tatum}. We all loved Aunt Louise, she was such a sweet lady. She will be missed and we will cherish her memory. My God be with you all at this time.

To the family of Louise McCumber Durrence: What a surprise to read her obituary in the paper. We had no idea she was so sick. Her husband was my father's (Kellis Durrence) brother. Aunt Louise was a very special person, and we loved her very much. I tried several times to call her last year about the time of the Durrence reunion but was not successful. We share in your loss and will remember you in our prayers. May God bless and comfort you.
