Testimonials

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Tha you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you. Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad. Love, The Gillilands

I met Louise in April, 1969 at Central Bank & Trust, Farmers Branch, TX. She became a very good friend to me, and we had some great times together. She was someone you could depend on,
Beautiful family my prayers are sent to each of you . She was a beautiful Lady inside and outside.
Hello Marsha and Craig. I am so sorry Aunt Louise has passed. She was a wonderful Aunt and had such a wonderful sense of file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/60/00/1398FFDD-2B2B-4FD9-AA5C-FB99708F967A/IMG_3841.jpeg humor. I know she will be missed by all. My prayers are with all of you.
So blessed to have had this amazing woman in our lives. We will all miss our beautiful Aunt Louise. Thoughts and prayers for her family
What an awesome lady with an incredible smile. She always made us feel loved, welcomed and special. Whether dancing, camping or just visiting she knew how to bring out the best in all of us. Comforting to know that she is reunited with those gone before but sad to know we will not get our Louise hug. God bless and keep her family. We will see her again someday. Joe and Pat Cadenhead, Triangle Squares
So enjoyed our lunches together where she always brightened our day with her cheerful outlook on life. And loved the home baked cookies she shared. Her simple kindnesses will not be forgotten.
I was saddened to hear of the the demise of Louise. For several years before Ed passed away, he and Louise would attend both Webb Chapel and Louise’s Church. What a joy they were. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
I will always treasure memories of Louise and her family. I came to know the Nuttall’s through Louise and so many memories from there. She was always interested in anything I was doing. She was so vital and invested in her life. Love to Marsha and Craig. Thank you so much.
