My heart felt condolence to the family for your loss.
Roy, I am Sue’s hairdresser. Sue was always talking about you and Louise so I felt like I knew both of you. My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. I know that all of you will miss Louise, but God is taking care of her now. She is not suffering anymore. And in time you will realize that this is a blessing. God bless all of you.
Teresa, May God bless you and your family in this hour of need. We are unable to attend but our thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
Teresa; Becky and I Will be unable to attend the services. Just wanted you to know we love you and are thinking of you .
Louise was my mom Geraldine’s best friend. Mom loved her like a sister, and spoke of her often. Up until mom’s death two months ago, Louise called her nearly every day. I am terribly sorry for your loss, but rejoice at the knowledge that she and my mom are together again. May the Lord keep you all during this difficult time.
Dear Roy and Family,
May our Lord be with you now to give solace and comfort, and to help you with His wonderful assurance. We are thankful to have known Louise, and will miss her.
We send our love.
Ted and Kay

Dear Lytle Family…
I am from the distant past and formerly lived with my Great-aunt and her husband, Irene and James Creasman of 21 Hi Alta Avenue. This was back in the 50’s and I shall never forget the kindness that she always showed me when I would visit and then go play with Donnie and perhaps the Harpers and Dale Rogers, maybe even James Hutchinson…over on the hill in front of Aunt Irene’s house. I was born 11/17/1946 and went to Sand Hill and then to Enka until the end of 1963, when I transferred to Reynolds and to live with my Mother and Step-Dad. I remember being baptised on 11/09/57, I think…but it was when there was saw dust in Robert Harris’ church there on Hi Alta. May God richly bless you and your family and let your memories sustain you all forever.
In HIS name,
Daniel Lindsay
