So sorry to hear of your parents, Lou and Juanita, passing to be with God. They were a beautiful couple together and I will miss them at the Ballou reunions. They both were very intelligent and willing to help where needed and always knew you! What a great couple and sorry for your loss.

We are so sorry for the loss of both your mother and father in such a short time. We got to know them "over the fence," and had looked forward to having them for our full-time neighbors. You are in our thoughts and in our prayers.
