I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom, Zettie Chamblee, who was 94 years old in January 2010. We had these ladies with us for a very long time and therefore more memories to help us through the grief and sorrow. May God comfort and keep you through the days ahead.

Mrs. Loubell was such a sweet lady. I haven't seen her in years but remember her being so very kind and considerate. She has left a wonderful legacy to her family. I just pray that I will grow old as gracefully as she did. May you be comforted in this time of need and know that we are praying for you.
