Obituary For Laureen Loder

Laureen H. Loder, 69, of Whitewright, passed away in her home after a brief illness, on Friday, October 16, 2015. Rosary will be recited at 6:00 p.m. Monday, October 19th, in Dannel Funeral Chapel, with family visitation until 8:00 p.m. Mass of the Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, October 20th, at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Celebrant will be Fr. Jeremy Myers. Interment will follow immediately afterward in St. Mary's Cemetery. Laureen was born September 22, 1946, in Newark, NJ, to Laureen Ashby. On October 11, 1973, she married Walter Loder in Keyport, NJ. She had attended St. Mary's Catholic Church for many years. Laureen demonstrated the absolute heart of a servant, often taking care of others in times of need. One effort that was most dear to her heart was providing hand-made rosaries as gifts. She had even been privileged to make and send a rosary to President George W. Bush during his tenure in the White House, later receiving a Presidential Seal in appreciation for her gift. As well as serving the needs of people in need, Laureen was also an avid animal lover. Preceded in death by her mother, Mrs. Loder is survived by her husband of 42 years, Walter Loder; daughter Evette Warner and husband, Rick, of Bonham, TX; brothers: Johnny, Billy, and Wayne Ashby, of New Jersey, and Harry Ashby, of Florida; sister, Ruthie Ashby, of New Jersey; grandsons, Domnick and Anthony May, of Bonham; great-grandchildren: Emma, Pressley, Drake, Kash, and Little Anthony. Serving as pallbearers are: Johnny Ashby, Billy Ashby, Domnick May, Anthony May, Gerry Brundage,Phillip Melton and Richard Austin. Honorary bearer is Bill Gray. In lieu of flowers, the Loder family will especially appreciate memorial donations to the St. Mary's Rosary Guild at 727 S. Travis St. in Sherman, TX 75090. Arrangements are under the direction of Dannel Funeral Home in Sherman. Online condolences may be registered at www.dannelfuneralhome.com 'When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes, All filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry, The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind, All those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home, When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne. He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you, Today your life on earth has passed, But it starts here anew. I promise no tomorrow, for today will always last, And since each day's the same, There's no longing for the past." So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.'

    Dear Sweet Laureen, my heart is broken and my eyes are tear-filled because I am not going to see you at mass anymore. I didn't know you were sick and I didn't get to say goodbye. Even when times were not so good for you and Walt, you had a way of making light of it and even laughed about it, almost as if you were trying to make others feel better for you. I'll miss your beautiful face--I loved your beautiful hair, your beautiful Jersey accent and your sense of humor and quick wit. It won't be the same around here without you. You are in a beautiful place now but our world won't be as sunny because you're not here. You always made me smile. Pray for us, sweet angel! Walter, our heartfelt prayers are with you! Don't forget, He is there right at your side! ~ Trudy Ruiz, Sherman, Texas
