  8. Mary Doss Lasiter
    I have tried to express my sympathy to the family several times because I couldn't see for the tears. Not only had Louise and I been friends since 1st grade but she was in charge of the brides book when I married her double 1st cousin. She, Liz and Bobbie were the closest thing to sister-in-law's that I had in the Lasiter family. I love them all dearly. I never expected to hear the words "Louise just died." She was supposed to outlive me in my mind. She and Bobbie were such a help to me when James was sick and when he went in to the hospital Louise came and sat at the hospital with us every day and she was with him when he passed. That is something my children and I will never forget. What I am trying to say is I loved her and all of the Lasiter family. I will always miss her. I will continue praying for all of her family. Bobbie and Liz know I will continue loving and praying for you and all of your family. May God give you and all of the Lasiter family peace knowing where she is now.

    To the family, I'm so saddened at this news. I've always thought of us as one family..My sister, Mary, married into the Lasiter family and Bill's sister Mary married into the Lasiter family and
    I just kind of adopted myself into the Lasiter family so I've always considered us all family.
    I know how hard this will be especially for Bobbie. I will be lifting her and the entire family
    in prayer. I pray the Lord will give you strenght, comfort and peace of mind to get through this
    and all the days ahead. I will continually keep you lifted up.
    I'm like Irma. I'm heartbroken and I'm heartbroken for the entire family.
    With love and sincere sympathy

    To Family: what a sweet cousin and a precious lady. Quiet but her shine always displayed her love for you. We shared a mutual interest that being our banana tress. Alway wishing that we’d experience the excitement of picking of banana’s Lol ! But at same time we’d pray the winter would not kill our harvest and come spring we’d see them peep out for the season. I am going to miss her so …….. I’m so heartbroken.
