"Aunt Loutie", I will always remember coming to your house to visit you in West Memphis. I still recall you letting us go in your storm cellar to play when I was a little girl. And I will always remember bringing my baby girl to visit you and Uncle Herman when I lived in West Memphis. You were always a "spitfire" and I admired that ! Rest in peace, sweet lady.
I loved her like she was my own mother.
I remember Miss Mamie Lou, she and my Mother were friends. Used to visit her and she always made me laugh. I know she will be missed by so many. God Bless her family. Rest In Peace Miss Mamie Lou.
