Visits to Lou always brightened my days. Her smile was a gift she shared with everyone who entered her room. Her enthusiasm and delight made every outing we took an adventure...savoring a cappuccino on her first trip to Starbucks, wheeling up and down the aisles at Target looking for the perfect feather duster, enjoying a cup of gumbo at Pappadeaux, buying the cute little purse at the eye doctor...simple pleasures that meant so much.
Lou was truly a blessing in my life. She will always be missed.
Lou was a very special lady and very dear to me. I enjoyed my visits with her and though she was in a lot of pain from all of her health problems, she always had a smile on her face and a positive attitude. I enjoyed listening to her stories and sharing mine. She kept the staff at the Concierge in check specially when it came to Roy's care. I miss her greatly.
Lou will be missed greatly. I will especially miss the notes in her Christmas cards when she would always remind me how fortunate she and I were to have the two most wonderful husbands in the world. I naturally and honestly agreed with her. She was a precious and beautiful lady.
For Mom from both of us - Your gentle spirit was a treasure that made us rich in many ways. The beauty of your love remains always near. Only a heart as loving as yours could find so many beautiful ways to show you care. We both love you BIG!
Carole - Please take comfort in knowing that your loving devotion to your mother was a touching inspiration for all of us. Please accept our warmest and sincerest condolences.
I was so saddened to hear about Lou's passing. I certainly did not anticipate it, as I'm sure no one else did, which made it even more difficult on everyone's hearts. She was a joy to be with, and I enjoyed her visits to my office and my visits to her room at the Concierge very much. I want you to know the positive impact she had on all of those people who knew her... including my own little girls.
Some people we get so close to, and Ms. Lou was that one for me. I will grieve... the rest of my life.
On behalf of "The Shut-Ins Outreach Ministries"and myself, we would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family during this your time of grief. We too are deeply sadden, by your lost and will miss our loving sister Lou Pastorick, who was always so cheerful and encouraging to be around. Remember that we are praying for you now, and in the days ahead as you go through the healing process. Keep looking to the hills from whence our help cometh. The Apostle Paul offers us encouragement by saying and I quote,"to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord".Pastor Gerald L.Carter for, (T.S.I.O.M.)
You will be missed by all who knew you, especially your six great-grandchildren: Lacey & Adam Manuel, Natalie & Dustin McDaniel, and Mikayla & Allison Vestal. They truly loved you.
