Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Louise, Jimmy, and Gaither. We are so sorry for your loss. Your mom lived a long fruitful life, and I know you will miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Gaither and family, I’m so sorry for the loss of your precious mama. Prayers for peace and comfort.
So very sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear of Nana’s passing. She was a very dear sweet lady who will truly be missed. Lisa Renee and Cheri Dudley
Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. She was such a bright light in the world, beautiful inside and outside! We have such fond memories of times shared over the years and will miss our many visits and chats! She was a dear, special friend to us!
Your mom was the ultimate mom to me Louise. You put her thru hell in your teenage years but she always forgave you and relished in your individuality. She was there for all of you whenever you needed her. I remember GaGa well and still have her cookbook so I will think of your mother whenever I turn the pages. Both great southern steel magnolias!!
Louise, Jimmy, Gaither, and family, Your Mother was truly a Wife and Mother of Noble Character. Love and Prayer, Charles M. and Hope White Manning
Thanks to everyone for your wonderful comments about mom. Jimmy, GAITHER and all appreciate your support and friendship. We will miss her greatly and are thankful for her long life well lived! Love, Louise
We never had the pleasure to meet your mother in person Louise. However, as she guided and provided examples for you during her life, we have no doubt that your mother was an amazing human being. You are a reflection of her goodness that remains.
