Mama Lou made a impression on my life that I will never forget I will miss her dearly, but I also would like to say that they are here to us on loan. Even though I hurt inside I know its not a time to mourn her death. Rejoice it. Know that she is in a better place and is not feeling the earthly pain that had burdened her. My deepest sympathy goes to the family. My prayers are with you, and to the family I would like to leave you this quote "Never losses, only blessings" she will be missed much. I will never forget her and the impact she made in my life. Rest In Peace Mama Lou. God Bless&128532;&128591;&127998; -Baby Boy-

The first time i actually got to know you auntie was when I move with Shanika and Tony and I remember you playing your gospel music in the morning and I could hear you praising GOD way from downstairs and when you used to sit at the dinner table with your headphones humming away .. You always made me laugh and speak wisdom to me when we had conversations .. You are our family's angel now and will be truly missed.. I love you auntie
