For Taylor: so sorry for your loss, Marsha Cooper

She was such a sweet person who always wore a smile! I only had the ho or to work with her a few short months and she will be missed. Rest in Paradise sweet friend. Prayers for her beautiful family

I'd only known and worked with Mrs. Richard for a short period of time. The little time that I'd worked with her, was a pleasure. She was a quiet, hard-working person. If she had any questions or concerns about the job, she would always call and ask me. I was glad that she trusted me for that information. Nicole introduced me to some delicious sweet potato pies that she got in Crowley. On my retirement day, Nicole bought me 2 of them. I was a happy soul. Dear Family, I am so sorry and deeply saddened for your loss. I will pray that the Family find the strength and courage, they need to go on. Just know, that her love and her memories will always dwell in your hearts Patsy C. Anderson

I was shocked to hear when the news was passed to us (her work) and am still at a loss for words. I keep thinking, I just saw you. Heavy heart. And with all that is going on in our community right now, that much more that we cannot come out to say our goodbyes and express our support to your family. You were a beautiful, youthful, soft presence and a definite pleasure to see and work with every day. My sincerest condolences to your family at this difficult time. ~ Katherine Wise

Nicole always had a smile on her face everyday that I would see her at work. It is so hard to believe she is gone. She was so friendly, kind, and giving. We loved to talk about hair. We had that in common. She will be greatly missed. It was such a pleasure to have worked with her. Priscilla Butler

The family have our deepest sympathy and prayers.(Rev. & Mrs. Calvin & Marie Moore)
