I am saddened to hear that Aunt Louise has passed. She was always a fun and cool aunt. We would love to see her and the family coming to my Grandfather Willie house. She will be dearly missed, but i have hope of seeing her smiling face again when Jesus calls and all the dead in Jehovahs memory will live again on earth. Until then i will cherish my memories

Echols family: My heartfelt condolences to the family. I remember Mrs. Echols as a foster mother for several children we placed in her home. I was very shocked to read that Melba is also deceased as I was one of her foster care workers during her teen years. I pray that these few words bring some comfort to the family. May her soul rest in peace...
