    Will always remember Aunt Lou and Uncle Tommy and the many Sunday afternoons at Grandpa and Granny's house. My brother Dennis and I will keep those memories forever. The last time I saw Aunt Lou was at the facility in Van Alstyne back in 2020. Anne and I visited with her through a chain link fence since COVID restrictions allowed no contact; however, it was a pleasant visit. I am sorry to have not been able to visit again.

    Lou and Tommy I always treated me and my family as if we were family. Anytime they had a holiday or they had a party we were always invited. Never once were we not welcomed with open arms. I remember them, my parents, Randy, and Kathy and the kuds are going to old Mexico, we had such a good time, rest in peace Lou.❤️💔❤️ we will always love you!

    Lou was special to our family as she worked with my parents for years at TI and I spent lots of time with her during my years at Tom Bean going to school and playing football with TD. I will cherish the memories I have with her family.
