Dudy we will miss you so much, Tommy, Scotty, Sue ( Mom ) and Thomas, I know this is so hard but we will get through this together. I loved Dudy very much. She was the kindest person that I ever had the honor of knowing. I will miss her laugh so much. She will be missed by all that knew her. Jason and Justin will miss her very much too. Vanessa was heartbroken... but she knows that Dudy is no longer in any pain. Dudy called Vanessa her "Snuggle Bug". My Myspace page has her picture on it when we all went to "Outback" for Your Birthday Sue, and everytime I look at it I cry. She was an Angel. God wanted her with him so she would not have to go through anymore pain and she is not sick anymore. I am glad that she is with Our Heavenly Father and I know that she will be there to welcome us. I love you all very much. Love Dion, Jason and Vanessa Thompson

I also worked with Louise at Sperry. Louise was one of those people who truly left a lasting impression on everyone that she met. Here's a poem that I found and I hope the family will find some peace in it. God's Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that she were suffering, he knew she were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again. God whispered to her "Peace be Thine" and gave her wings to fly. No more pain.
Louise left us precious memories, It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

Louise has been a dear friend to me for years. She befriended me when I went to work at Sperry and made me feel like part of the team . I have enjoyed going place with her and loved her dearly. I cannot express in words just how much she meant to me and how much I loved her. She was always so full of life. I am going to miss her laughter so much. I know she was suffering and now she is in the arms of God and will be forever young and at peace and without pain.
