Kenneth and family,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Louise. I have so many fond memories of her and all of you at Beacon Baptist Church. I remember Louise playing the piano and I always think about Ken when I go into a Kroger! You are all in our prayers. I bet she's playing the piano for mom and Steve and Grandma Jones is listening to them!

Ken and family
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Louise, She was such a sweet, dedicated, talented and true southern lady who I know you will truly miss. These past few years has been very difficult on you and the entire family. But I commend you for the way you took care of her. Your 65 years of marriage was a love that knew no boundaries. I am a better person today just for having each of you as a part of my life. On behalf of Cobb Funeral Home and Blytheville Kiwanis we pray your days ahead will be blessed and that you will receive strength and comfort from the Lord.

Ken and family,
Just want you to know you are in our prayers. We often use the words, "sorry for your loss". However, she has just moved to a much better place and we know where she is.
While the hurt is still there as those memories of a sweet mom flood our minds you can still rejoice in the fact that you were blessed with a wonderful mother who lived her life for the Lord.
Kathy and I extend to you and your family our deepest sympathy and know without a doubt that he will comfort you in this time.
God bless,
Gary

I loved Louise. She was kindhearted and good to everybody. She never said a bad word about any body. She was always ready to help in any way she could. When we started to Fairview she took us in and always treated us like family.
I know she will be sorely missed. I know she is in a better place.
May God bless your family in this time of bereavement. My prayers are with you.
