Rodney,We are saddened to hear of the death of your Mom. Louise and Ernest were great neighbors and friends of my parents Dupree and Margie who both passed in 2005. Your Mother provided such comfort to me in my time of sorrow when I tragically lost my Dad in a car accident. Please know that my wife and I offer our sincere our condolences in the loss of your Mother. May God bless your family during this difficult time.Respectfully Jimmy and Cheryl Wilkes

Louise was one beautiful lady: inside and out. The last time I saw her, I sat with her husband and her at the Celebration of Life for Bishop Richard Elder. She was still just as beautiful as ever. I praise God for her life. And, I offer sincere condolences to those she left behind: her family, friends, co-workers, church family... all the lives she touched as she passed our way. No, her living was not in vain.
