Condolence: Our sweet Stepmom is now pain-free and no longer trapped in her body. She was always so kind and took good care of Dad.

Condolence: Jim & family; Liz, Cynthia, Will:

I am a friend of Liz and worked with her for many years in NC. I haven't seen Lou in many years but she looks the same with her sweet smile! I fondly remember Lou being so kind and loving to me. I loved my trips to Lake Junaluska to sit on the porch just talking, visiting & sharing our lives with Lou, her Mom, Pete, Liz & Craig. Lou was a loving woman with a very strong faith and love of God. She is now in loving hands and God's care. My prayers to each & every family member in this time of mourning.

Condolence: My thoughts are with you all. As Cynthia's childhood friend, I was in Lou's kitchen often and always found it warm and inviting. She was always so kind to me.
After we all grew up, I saw Lou around town and even interviewed her a couple times in my capacity as reporter for WSOC.
I wish the world could give us more Lous. It would be a better place.
She was a gift to her family and those she knew -- with a ready smile and a kind word.

Condolence: Jim and family, I remember and value Lou's participation in choir - a steady and dependable alto - now singing the praises of her Redeemer face to face. What joy is hers! And what sadness is ours at her absence. Peace to all of you as you mourn her loss.

Condolence: My dearest Jim, my heart breaks when learn about the passing of your beloved wife lou.I am so blessed to have meet her for a short while but I know that we all shall meet one day in the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore.She may not me here with us physically but know that her soul is with us spiritually and we know that because scripture reminds us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.In your difficult time remember that no matter what life throws at us we are not alone because he promised never to leave us nor forsake us because he didn't bring us this far to leave us Ven in the midst of the storm he is there so I just want to express my deepest sympathy to you and yours and know that you are in my prayers.
