I visited with Ms Loell when she was in Superior Rebab a few weeks ago. I told her I knew her but she probably didn't know me. I said I had worked with Alvin and went to church with Shelia. She replied anyone who knew and loved my children I love them already. She was so sweet and her countenance just shows Jesus plainly. No need to wonder about where she is.

Mrs Loell was a good Christian woman, that stuck to her faith. She knew the Bible and taught others what it said. She was a joy to visit and listen to her stories. Prayers for all the family.
