Dear old friends, I always loved your mother. She helped me at Margaret's for as long as she worked there, and Beverly and Bobby were very good friends of mine. My sympathy is with you all. She lived a good life, and she was a special lady. Barbara

Karen and Famiy, I was sad to read of your mom's passing. I have known her for so many years, starting at Margaret's. She was always so loving, friendly & sweet. I know your hearts are broken. I pray your loving memories will attempt to fill the void she leaves.

My mother and Louise were friends in Hale Center many years ago, so I have known Louise literally all my life. When I moved back to Lubbock 40 years ago, it was such a pleasure to see her at church and at her places of employment. She was a beautiful person and a true Christian. My condolances to her family.
