Dear Lamarra Family, though we've never met Mr. Jack Lamarra, we can sense the man that he was through the family of Mike and Lisa. Both Mike and Lisa are doing a tremendous job of raising their beautiful and benevolent daughters. This, we're certain, is a true witness of what great parents Mr. Jack and Mrs. Irma Lamarra were, and they're leaving a wonderful legacy of a faithful, loving and devoted family, ever ready to help and serve others wherever and whenever there is a need. Eternal rest grant upon him and may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. We will keep your family in our prayers. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
