Paradise, Newfoundland, Canada, TX Saturday, April 24, 2010 Mr. AcreeNever got the opportunity to meet your wife and Jeanne's Mom in person, for which I'm sorry cause I know it would have been my pleasure. Jeanne and I met on a little bus going to an even smaller plane on our way to a Knights of Columbus event. We have been sole mates ever since. My prayers and the prayers of my husband, Ron, go out to you and your family. Jeanne speaks of her family often so through her we feel we know you all, even if just a little.
May God Bless you as you carry on and may God accept Louise, as we're very sure HE has, into His arms and Heaven's eternal rest.

She was a very gracious lady and I thought very highly of her. I spent alot of my time while living in Monticello with her teaching me the basics of sewing and cooking. I also enjoyed just being at the house with her visiting and asking for advice. She will truly be an angel in Heaven.

, AR Tuesday, April 6, 2010 I will always remember Mrs. Acree--I could never call her Louise--she was a wonderful friend and I will always be so grateful for her being so patient when we took Mr. Acree away during the night when we acted up and had to scrub with toothbrushes. She has a wonderful daughter and son Jeanne and Steve who have become wonderful friends of mine and being married 58 years--WOW what an accomplishment. God has welcomed another Angel into his fold. Sending my love and prayers. Henrietta
