    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Louis was good friends with my Dad, W.F. I am sure they are discussing old times together in Heaven.

    Louis was so good to my mother, Dorothy Conatser, when he visited Craighead Nursing Center. He would bring her the Jonesboro Sun and the Trumann Democrat daily and weekly. He was a kind and considerate man. You have a lot to be proud of to have a father and mother that where so well loved by the citizens of Trumann.
