I wil miss Lou she was like a 2nd mother to me. She would drive Jerilee and I to bowling every Saturday no matter what the weather was like. Lou was going to make sure we didn't miss bowling. I remember spending the weekend at the house we always had fun. I will miss her dearly, tell Jerry "HI".

Lou was an amazing woman who was full of laughter, smiles and the biggest heart around! It was always a pleasure to help her with the bowling tournaments and to sit around joking with her. She will be forever missed but never forgotten!! I'm sure she's bowling 300's in the big alley up in the sky now! Love you Lou!!
