Mrs. Rutherford was in the same room as Mom in Pulaski Rehab. Such a sweet, kind person. She watched after Mom and Mom loved her. The first day that Mom was without Mrs. Rutherford, she cried all day and future days. Mrs. Rutherford called me at home one day to see how Mom was doing. A precious soul. Sad news for us, but not for her. 🙏🏻❤️

Louise was a very special lady to all who knew her. She’ll long be remembered at First Baptist evening fellowship meals for her beans and cornbread. Her spiritual strength was an example to us all. May the Lord strengthen and comfort the family at her loss.

But now all her pain and suffering is over. The Good Lord now has her. Rest In Peace dear lady. Fly high with the angels.
