Mark, Brad and family, I’m so sorry to hear of Louanne’s passing. I often wondered how she was doing since you all were our neighbors. I remember her at First Baptist singing in the youth choir.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Ginn Alford Smith
I remember when Louanne arrived at hospital prior to Mark( as he was out of town) when her nephew was born. She waited in parking lot to usher her brother in to see his son without telling him the sex of his first born child. I thought that was great. For decades with MS she could not get around. She was brave to handle the situation. I am grateful my mom in law had her living with her especially when both of them needed each other. Her mom hoovered over and with dementia she repeated constantly and Louanne was patient with her. The fruit of the spirit was exhibited. She was a patient, loving, kind and faithful daughter and for that I will always be grateful. Long suffering indeed. Her courage through her trials was amazing. We thank God no longer any pains and she is whole once more.
Louanne was the greatest person I ever met. She taught me more than I will ever comprehend. I miss you Lucy and always will.
Jake was an amazing friend and mentor. Loved unconditional and without prejudice. I remember coming into her life as a step sister and our friendship continued to grow until the end of her journey here on earth. We shared some very great moments and some sad moments but her legacies will remain in my heart. Jakes perseverance and patients was what made her so special to me. Play some lego video games Jake and don’t forget about me down here. I love you sweet girl!! Until we meet again. I could go on and on about the person you were to me and so many others but now it’s your turn to rest easy. God bless
Love always
Ann

She was such a loving person!
I was one her step sisters and she gave me a voice to sing about God,
Jake was a friend & mentor to me – I was also Stepsister in her Recovery Choir. She always had a smile & laugh whenever I spent time with her. I have never witnessed such a loving, caring, strong & courageous woman until I met & got to know Jake. She loved spending time & making music with her sisters in Recovery. I will miss her smile & warm personality immensely but know that she is with God & the Angels in a beautiful & healthy body in Heaven. God bless you Jake & I will always treasure the friendship that we shared.
