Louie, Stephen and A.P.:
I just got back from vacation and just caught up on emails and the Times Picayune obits.
So, so sorry to learn of Precious's passing... She was one sweet lady.. I have fond memories of those visits she and Louis made over to Covington.
I also remember attending their 50th anniversary celebration and watching them "dancing". What an adorable couple they were together.
Please know my prayers will be with you guys.
Love to all,
Kathy
