What a great person Modres was - funny, caring, and she had the knack to make everyone feel so important in her presence. She was the ultimate hostess - I'm sure she's partying in true Cajun style in Heaven! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. She is missed. Love, Phyliss and Rusty

Charmaine, Candice, Staci and Rod,
Please know you are all in my prayers today especially as you lay your beautiful mother and grandmother to rest. She loved you all and life so much and was one of the most vital, kind-hearted and engaged people I have known. I know she will always stay in your hearts and that the many memories you have will help fill a small part of the void her passing leaves. She is at rest now and reunited with her beloved Eugene. I know they will be watching after you all.

Love

Laura

Dear Charmaine, Mr. Rod, Candice, Staci, Mr. Blaine, Mrs. Sandra, Amanda, Jon, Mr. Evence, Mrs. Patsy,

Words cannot express how much Mrs. Modres meant for me... Her kind heart, always smiling eyes, soft hands and happy laugh are forever in my memory. She is a very wise lady and I know she would be most happy if you stay strong and united in this time.

I am confident that she is resting at peace with her husband, whom I have never met, but can imagine what a great person he was.

I regret not being able to be there to share this sorrow with you. Despite the distance, I am thinking and praying for you.

But above all, I love you all very much.
