Dear Mark, Burke, Andrea, Diane and Chris
Mark and I were so sorry to hear of Aunt Iz's passing. She was so incredible and a true dichotomy! She was gracious and generous yet unreserved, had great taste but enjoyed simple pleasures, had perseverence in spades but was patient with others, had a worldly and experienced intellect but relied on her common sense. I will miss hearing her stories and seeing her sly wink after the telling. She was always so positive and found the humor and hope in everything. It is so like her to have passed just as spring was coming with its promise of rebirth and new life in Christ. Having just lost Pattie so recently we know how difficult this is for you all. I find comfort in knowing they are together and will have new stories to share when we see them next. Dad, Mark and I send our love. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.

I am glad that I got to meet Isabelle at out Lovett reunions. I loved her sense of humor and her stories about the family. She was a very special lady.

Dear Armestos
Your mom was a person of mythical tales in our house growing up; her visits stand out clearly in my mind. The family connections were very important to both of my parents and thus to all three of us kids.
On the day my dad was dying your mom was one of the last people to talk with him. Isabelle gave dad comfort in his months without my mom; their phone calls and visits lifted his spirits. All of us children have been blessed to have our parents into our middle age and to help them in their dying days. That does provide a measure of comfort but does not lessen the grief of having to go forward without them.
All my love, Suz

A prayer of comfort is sent to you, Mark, Burke, Andrea, Diane and Christine and a long distance hug from one who remembers carefree days of childhood. My mother loved to have your mother and father and all of you children visit at the "farm". I remember musical evenings and just being silly kids together. My condolences to all. Regards, Polly (Reitz)

Dear Mark, Burke, Andrea, Diane and Christine,

It is really starting to feel like the end of an era – and a great one at that. I’m sure it feels that way even more so for you.

Fond memories remain of wonderful chats and laughs with Aunt Is who always made family gatherings more fun. Sorry I won’t be there on Saturday but my heart is with you all.

Much love to you from your cousin,

Dearest Cousins,

I may not make it to the service, but want you to know how dearly we all loved Isabel and how much we all love you.

She was a true lady with a gleam in her eye and a ready wit. Her parties were out of this world and her taste, absolutely the classiest!

I'll see you on Saturday or as soon as I can thereafter.

All my love, kisses and hugs,

Janet Sydney McLouth(-Curry) & Alexis Mclouth (Curry)

On behalf of her Lovett family relatives, I would like to extend our sympathies to her children, Andrea, John Jr, Mark, Christine and Diane and her grandchildren. The Lovett reunions will never be the same without her. I enjoyed her Lovett
reminiscing, her sense of humor and the twinkle in her eyes when she came to the reunions. While doing Lovett Genealogy, she told me many
wonderful stories about our ancestors.
