Louanna always had a smile on her face.

I have So many fond memories of Louann and her family. My mother passed when she was 41 years old. She and Louann were very close. One of my most favorite memories was hearing Louann tell old stories about her and my mother during their younger days. I always felt so welcomed and loved just being in her presence. You will forever live in my heart Lou.
Lou was always a cool mom and fun person to be around..thinking of Kim, John and all of her family
