Guest Book

In loving thoughts to the family, Alease Walters...I neglected to add my name to the previous guest book input with Psalm 116:15.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints {Psalm 116:15). It was a beautiful meeting that day on the Williston-Elko Track Field. As we walked around the track, it was like we had meet before. Then to know that your sister, Eva, was dear to me explained the ease of our relationship. I thank God for knowing Sister Louise over the years. God bless you all...

I had the honor and delight of serving with Louise at Paradise Baptist Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma: Music Ministry, Culinary Arts Ministry, and J. Castina Jackson Circle. "Weezie" was the chairperson of the Culinary Arts Ministry and we often joked about my contribution..."I was the best dishwasher this side of the Mississippi but I definitely could not cook!" My grandmother lived next door to Louise's dear Mr. Pappas. Many of us were waiting patiently for her return to Paradise....the wait is over, she has arrived, to God be the Glory!....Pamela Scott Vickers
