I met Emma Lou through my friendship with Adene and Jimmy Guidry. You couldn't help but admire how fun it was for all their family members when they all got together for good food and family time. I won't forget her squash casserole and was so pleased when she shared her recipe with me. She will be missed.

Donna, You and your family are in our thoughts & prayers. Many you find comfort in your faith during this time of sorrow. Ron Charlotte

Never had the opportunity to meet her but it sounds like she was a special lady that loved her family and served her Country. She is in a better place.
