Mr Soileau and Peggy Sue, I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet, sweet wife and mom. She was such a pleasure to be around and I enjoyed every day that I got to visit with her. I was out of town so I did not get to go to the funeral but know yall were in my thoughts and prayers. Also know that I loved your mom and felt blessed to have known her. She was truly an angel.

Mrs. Soileau was such a lovely, gracious woman. I found her to be very generous, warm and welcoming. I am rejoicing she is no longer in pain and can be with her Savior (as I know the particular pain of the Fibromyalgia with which she suffered). She had such a sweet spirit and will be greatly missed, I know. Please know that your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Dot: I loved you like my own Mom and will miss you so much. I always looked forward to our long phone calls and I will miss talking to you. You always had a smile on your face and a chuckle in your voice. You always made me feel good about myself. To Uncle Johnny, Jimmy, Doug, Peggy Sue and Ricky and all the Grandkids and Great Grandkids, my love and prayers go out to you. You have lost a wonderful beautiful Wife, Mom and Grandmother. I love you all. We three Ferguson kids always felt close to your family. I always thought of Aunt Dot as my second Mom and she thought of me as her little sister. I remember so many fantastic camping trips and vacations to wonderful places with your family. Those great time with you all still linger in my memories. I will always remember her beautiful smile, lovely laughter and her cheerful attitude even when she did not feel good. We will miss her and we will never forget her. Love to you all, Aggie.

Mother, you deserve the peace and rest. You fought the good fight and are now enjoying the benefits of being a child of God. We'll see you soon and hug Lois for me. I miss her so much and will miss you.
