Aunt Lou~ I will miss you dearly! You have taught me so much, you taught me how to love unconditionally. And to love God and all his people. Taking care of you for the last years of your life have been a blessing to me. Your ornery ways were what made me love you even more. Now you are in heaven and you can be pain free. eat and drink what you want. and you are walking again. I love you Aunt Lou! God Speed!
