I'm sorry to hear that someone so special has been taken away. Although we haven't seen Luanne in years we always remained in touch throughout the holidays. We enjoyed some of our best spade games with Jim & Luanne back in Virginia Beach. Heaven's gain and our loss.
To Barbara and Ron Taylor, Mom and Stepfather. Sorry for your loss,but luanne is finally at peace. We loved her she will be missed. Aunt Merna and Uncle Ron Walton
To mother Barb Taylor and LuAnne's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May the wonderful memeories of LuAnne fill your hearts, minds and souls. As Ever, Rich & Billie
To Barbara and family. I have not seen Louann since she was a small child and am a cousin to her mother, Barbara. I am sure she is at peace now and out of pain. Our sympathy goes out to all of her family. Joy and Mel Collins.
We were so thankful to have LuAnne as a part of our church family and also as a friend. She was a thoughtful, giving, selfless, beautiful lady. Her love for the Lord Jesus and for Family Church were undeniable. It was a privilege to sit with her and wait on her during her final days, to be able to give back just a small portion of the love she gave us through the years. We are sorry for the family as we know you will miss her. But we are happy for LuAnne that she is no longer in pain, but rejoicing in the presence of the Lord.
Dear James and Family, Our prayers are for you and Anthony and all that are involved with your lives. We appreciated LuAnne's dedication to the things of God and Church. My wife Juanita and all the Ladies of Family Church loved her very much. She was a blessing to all. We will all miss her very much. Where is has gone is much better. Here is a verse of scripture about when we shall see LuAnne again. I Thessalonians 4:16-17. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. We hope to meet you all there too. Love, Delmer Hyman
Dear James and Anthony and Family,
LuAnne has been a blessing in Family Church.
She was a true believer in Jesus Christ. She attended our ladies monthly meetings.
We had fun, food, fellowship and teaching. She brought some wonderful home cooking to the meetings. We will miss her very much, as I know her family will. Love to you all, Juanita
Luanne, May you finally be at peace. I'm sorry I didn't talk to you on the phone before you passed. I love you. I will never forget the great times we had.
Love Always,
Carmen Save me a seat and we'll play chess when I get released.
Luanne,
I am so glad that we have remained best friends over the years. We had so many good times when the kids were small and shared a lot of crazy times. I admire your strength through all of your sicknesses. You really put up a good fight, but I know that you are finally at peace now. I am trying to find comfort knowing that you are no longer suffering and that you have gone home to be with Jesus. I love you!
Love,
Juanita
