You will be missed Sister Lou. Thank you for being such a fine example of a Christian woman. Alyssa loved you being her "secret" pal at church. You gave her love like she was one of your own. Thank you. We love you !

My sincerest condolences to all the family during this time of sadness. Having been in your shoes and preceded you in this path, makes one readily understand your loss. Your Mother was and father both were dear friends and always had a way of letting you know they cared. Having just talked with your Mom recently and renewing lots of memories, made it seem so unreal that she is gone to be with her Lord and those having gone on before. May God's love and peace rest in your heart. He cares and will direct your path. He saw a rose and needed to plant it in His Garden - and He picked one of the best. Your Mom was a super lady and I along with all of you, will miss her so very much.

Truman and John and families. Thanks for letting us share your Mother as a great friend for the past several years. She was a great Christian, and one who you could always depend upon. We spent some wonderful times with her and your Dad.
We will surely miss her, as we know you will too.
