Mom, my heart is breaking. It is still to hard to believe. I know that you are in heaven with love ones that you haven’t seen in a long time and we will be together again someday. Until then, you raised us to work together and be here for each other and to take care dad. I promise mom we will. I love you and miss you so much.

I adores Louise. I had the pleasure of working in her home a few years back. Quickly, I became so find of her and Mr. Sexton. I may have been there housekeeper, but, there wasn’t a visit to their home where they didn’t share a story or a memory with me. Louise was kind, strong in her faith and loved her family. I will miss her and am saddened by her passing. May God bless her entry into his kingdom and have her son, Mike waiting to greet her. My condolences to Mr Sexton, Janice and the family.
