Dear Louis and Family,
It had been many many years since our drum and bugle corps days in New Orleans when we were teenagers. However, our recent reunion with Irma Ruth and several other friends of that time in our life was a blessing we cherish. Please receive our condolences for your loss and yet rejoice that Irma Ruth is with her LORD now, fully restored. We pray for your comfort and strength.

Our mother was a strong and brave woman. She wasn't afraid of snakes, only spiders. She was a rose to many blessed people. She was the teacher that went above and beyond the call of duty to enrich the lives of those she touched. She left her mark on each of us.

So sorry to read about your MOM. Be assured she is in a better place now and pain free as she looks down upon all of us smiling. Hopefully, you remember me as I stood in yours and Monica's wedding. Take care.

Irma was a great lady and I am so glad I was able to get to know her. I will miss her visits to North Dakota and the telephone chats we used to have.
I want the Gomez family to know that the Eberhardt family is thinking of you during these trying times. We will all miss her.

I was so saddened to learn that your sweet Irma has passed. She was so lovely and had a heart of gold. The two of you were pillars of the Hispanic community in New Orleans for decades. Know that all she did is appreciated and she will be missed.

Sorry I couldn't be there. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know she will be missed. She was always so complimentary and nice to consider me still part of the family. Sorry she will not be there for us to see her for St. Patty's Day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of loss. Teasy, my godmother, had a very special place in my heart and passed on my birthday. Even though we didn't see each other often I will miss her phone calls. Wish I was able to come to N.O. and meet all her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was so proud of you! All our love, Kathy and Herb
