Lou Lou & Family – sending our deepest condolences at this difficult time in your lives. I loved hearing the stories about Mom Mom. I know how special she was. May she rest in God.
Lou Lou and all of the Guy Family: Words can’t express the love I had for Boo. She was funny, STUBBORN and loving all in one little bundle. We will all miss her dearly, but now she is in heaven with Jeanie and all of her relatives, and probably getting a Canasta game together. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love you.
