Betty Sue, I was sorry to learn of your Mother's passing. I saw the death notice in the Richmond paper earlier but just found this obituary online today. Louise was a good friend to both my Mother and Dad (Doris & Otis Ashworth). They thought so much of her and your Dad. I hadn't seen her in many years, but Dad did hear from her after Mother died in 1998. Dad passed away two years ago at age 90. My sympathies to you and your family.

Betty Sue - I was saddened this morning to read of your mother's passing. She was a dear, sweet lady and I always looked forward to seeing her at church. I have missed that being so far away now. She always had a positive outlook and was a joy to be with. With much love and deepest sympathy. God bless.
