To my wonderful, loving mother. You have always been, and will continue to be a huge part of my life. No matter what happen, good or bad, I could ALWAYS come to you, and you would comfort me. When I'd fall off my bike and get a scratch on my knee, you were there. When I'd get a bad report card, you were really there. When some girl broke my heart, you were there. When GOD saved me and wrote my name in the book of life, you were there. When LSU would play on Saturdays and we'd talk on the phone about the game, you were there. You have always been there for me. Although I know you are in Heaven with Jesus, Johnny and Dean, I'm going to miss you so much. I find myself picking up my phone to call you and then all of a sudden I realize you're gone. All I am or ever hope to be I owe to you! I will think of you EVERY day. I LOVE YOU MAMA!

Debbie and I will miss Mary very much.  Though I teased with her, by calling her Trouble, she was anything but trouble. She was a committed Christian, mother,and friend.  I am sad that I could not be there to voice my condolences in person. I know Mary loved us and we loved her,as well.  Words cannot really express the sense of loss that Debbie and I have.  Ours prayers are with Mary's family. We know she suffers no more and we look forward to seeing her in heaven.

For everything there is a reason. You were placed onto my path and I am thankful to God for you. I will never forget when you saved me from the big mean dog on the second story window ledge. When holidays came around you would cook and cook. The aroma in your kitchen I can still smell, mouth watering and waiting pataintly for the call to come and get it. Playing cards into the wee hours of the night with laughter and children having the time of their life. When you disciplined it was stern but with love and wisdom. When we messed up you always found a way to make us still look good. You always gave more than you took. You cherished family and God above all things. You taught us the importance of family and God. LSU football came to life in your heart and eyes. You never knew a stranger. Aunt Bea Bea you lived your life as though God stood right beside you and I believe He was always there, it was radiant about you. To the family forgive me for mentioning her first but she always took second seat for us all. But be it known I love each and everyone of you. My life would be nothing without you all in it. My heart and prayers are with you now. This time is certainly difficult and I share your emptiness. But rejoice in knowing that she is being received into the arms of Jesus pain free and dancing with joy. She leaves a legacy of love and faith that we should all try to strive for. I love you all.

With our deepest sympathy in this time of your loss.

I will miss my sister so much. We were always close. I could talk with her about all of my lifes ups and downs and she always gave me encouragement. As we depart for now, know that we will meet again and that your memories will forever be in my heart. I could not have been blessed with a better family. Each birthday that came and went, you always remembered. 

To her children , I am thinking of you all today and the days to come. I am praying and sending love to each of you . I love you all.

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

My Aunt Bea Bea was a very special lady who raised wonderful, loving and caring children. We all grew up together sharing meals,laughter, and most importantly love. I share your pain during this difficult time. Know that she touched many lives and that she will be missed. Today she is celebrating her new life with God. If I can do anything for any of you, please don't hesitate to call me. I love you all.
