Dr. Love was and is a legend. He guided me in raising three children. All three children came early, he told me he was going to have to teach me how to sit on the nest.
He got all three children through the rough early days of their lives. He even rode in the ambulance with one to Jackson. They had a flat tire on the way.
There was no neonatal special unit in Vicksburg at that time. He was the special unit!!
Tell me what Doctor would do that today?
He was also humble and kind.
We will never forget you Dr. Love. May God Place a special jewel in your crown!

Love the Lovefamily. Dr. Love and his wonderful family were our neighbors in Vicksburg, MS in the 70's. They were what I would consider the perfect family and Ann and Kimble the perfect parents, Vicksburg was a better place because of this wonderful family. Dr. Love was always on call in the neighborhood. We miss them.

Before I ever met Dr. Love all I heard was positive. As I read again about his incredible career and journey I thought about such a life well lived. His dedication, his care and his love for his patients and family were on the list of wonderful attributes. I am so thankful for knowing him and the friendship of his precious family. We were blessed to know him and he will be greatly missed.

There are people who come into your life for a rather short time and then leave, after changing those they touch forever. Kimble Love was one of those people. Ann and kids, you are so blessed to have had him walk through your lives.

Dr. Love was in the delivery room when my daughter Katherine was born. He was such a sweetheart all the years I have known him. He truly loved what he did as evidenced by the way he cared for my child and treated us (our family). He will be missed. But he's now in perfect healing and celebrating heaven's glory with family and friends there. ❤
