Dear Britt, Betsy, and Robert:
I have always enjoyed my trips to Little Rock and your mother was certainly a part of them. I remember her smile, her hospitality,her pleasant disposition, and her dedication to the Lord. I am blessed to have seen her again in April, albeit under unfavorable circumstances. Please know that I have prayed for your family and you have all been in my thoughts over the past month. We have lost two great ladies this year, but I am a better person for having known them. Kyle

Dear Robert,Jo Ann and Turner,

We are sad about your mother and Momma Lou's passing, but know that she had a wonderful
relationship with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.She is no longer in pain but
is smiling with that beautiful smile with
her savior now.

Your Mother shared many a Holiday with us and you.She often was our prayer warrior and we were
hers. She loved her family very much.

Robert you tell me when I see My grandchildren I
smile so brightly; when Louise looked at you and
Jo ann and Turner she had that same smile. She
loved you all very much.

She is gone but will never be forgotten...

We love you....

Your family Always,

I loved Louise and have such wonderful memories of our trip to Alaska and our antiquing trip from Boston. She loved a good deal and was certainly a classy lady with wonderful Christian values. I have known her since she was 14 and a kinder, more compassionate person you could never find. The world has lost a beautiful women. She will be missed by all. Her sister-in-law and sister in Christ, Beth Dunkin

Dear Britt, Robert and Betsy, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I loved her very much - I rushed her to Theta when Joe and I were married. I learned of your loss when my sister sent me the notice from the Oklahoman. Then Bill told me she had been in bad health. That is hard to believe as she was so young and always was so young and upbeat. She was very proud (and well deserved) of each of you! I know your were proud of her too. She built quite a career on her experience in her mother's allergy practice. Amazing. I had a lot of respect for her achievements. I know you will miss her. I hold all of you in my prayers. Much love, Jean (Tate)

Britt Kennedy and Betsy Riedel, My lifetime memories of your Mom always include smiles, laughter and joy. Louise was more than just family. She was my "Aunt Louise," a Kappa Alpha Theta Sister and a friend. She will be missed.

Dear Family,
We were so saddened to hear of Louise's passing. We met her in 1981 for our first allergy testing, and followed her to Hot Springs and then to Chenal. She was always the most kind, caring person each time we visited with her. We thought of her as our friend and enjoyed her bubbly personality. She helped so many with problem allergies and was determined to beat out the villains! And, she was always successful! She was willing to listen to our concerns and shared some things of concern in her life with us as well. She was one of a kind. She was great lady, a confidant, reassuring, dedicated to her cause in life person and we will miss her so much. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
With love,
The Mannings

Robert,Joann & Turner: We were sad to hear of your loss. It was clear that both of you gave and cared for Momma Lou! Robert you put alot of your needs aside for her to continue to be involved in the practice of allergy testing and treatment. She gave you a hard time,but knew that she was loved! Both of you will be blessed for the kindness and love that you gave Momma Lou! She was happy to be a part of Chenal Family Practice and Robert you gave her that daily...May God Bless you both and may he comfort each of you. Turner, you know that you were so important to your grandmother! she was proud of you and loved you. May the love of Jesus comfort you in this time of sorrow! susan anderson and abby

I send my deepest sympathy and love to all of Louise's children and grandchildren.We were very good friends for many years during our Al-Anon days and I am so sorry that we have not been with eachother very much during the past few years.
