Cousin Louise and Dawsie were my favorite cousins of ALL time. They both were so kind and easy going ladies. I loved visiting them as a child and as an adult. Uncle Sam and Aunt Fannie would always laugh and talk with me too. Yes those were the good old day forever to be cherished. Sleep on Lou. Catch up with my mom and your other relatives. I know they are waiting for you. Love you always!! LaVerne De Sett
Rest In Peace Mama Lou! I remember as a child coming out to your house and grabbing a biscuit out of the pot on top of your wooden stove. Those were the best biscuits ever! I also remember the sewing lessons you gave me and picking plums from your tree in the back yard! So glad I visited you and got 3 photos on my last visit home. I loved you and I told you so. Say hi to my mom and dad and all those who left before you! You will be missed!β€οΈππΌππΌππΌ
