Not sure what to say?

I met Lou Ann 2008 and saw her in 2009 at Jamestown NY. She was so nice. I also won her sister Vivian Vance´s coat. I got a picture and she signed the back of the picture saying the coat was owned by Vivian. We love you Lou Ann.

I think this is a wonderful way to keep Lou´s memory alive. Sometimes it´s the little moments that mean the most and this lady brought joy and a lasting memory in mine. Thank you

I met Lou Ann while visiting Jamestown and although it was for just a few minutes l felt like we had known each other for years. Such a beautiful lady. I took a picture of her and her friend for them and she gave me a jar of hot peppers for my birthday. So kind and it was exciting to meet her. She will always have a special place in my heart.

I met this lovely lady In Jamestown and we had a great little chat. She gave me a little gift as it was my birthday and we took pictures. Actually that’s how we started to chat as we took her picture with her friend. I know it’s a little late and it probably won’t reach her family now but my deepest condolences. She was a special lady.

I live in Santa Cruz, California and recently retired at 60, hoping to get back into performing more. I've spent this week auditioning for our local play festival and just found out I've been cast in 3 productions.

This got me thinking about how it all began: when my 5th grade teacher around 1970 suggested my dramatic flair might be better put to use on the stage than in the classroom! Thus I found my way to the Los Altos Children's Theatre which at the time was taught by Ross and Lou...

Lou Ann was an important mover and shaker in the Albuquerque theatre community and will be greatly missed.
At her memorial service yesterday, the essence of her spirit, warmth, work ethic and humor came through clearly. Wish I had known her longer than just the last few years (since having the good fortune of being under her direction in Hot_l Baltimore.)
She was unforgettable!
Sending deep condolences to her entire family.
Sincerely,

Lou Ann was a very special person to me. I loved her wonderful spirit. It was such a pleasure meeting her way back in 2001 when she came to visit my charter school, Public Academy for Performing Arts. I always appreciated how she kept her sister Vivian's memory alive, whether at the special exhibit she mounted at the Albuquerque Museum, or in a book she wrote about her, etc... Most of all, I loved her smile, and her attendance at our ATG annual party. She was such a GEM. I will miss you Lou...
