So sorry to hear about your loss! Luella always made me laugh, even when she wasn't feeling good herself. Such a terrific person! Such a terrific family! I will always remember her smile and how hard she worked on her flower gardens in the summer. May the Lord be with you as you grieve her loss. Prayers.

We are so very sorry to hear of Luella's passing. She was an icon in the City of Buchanan. She assisted in the upkeep of the local post office and added her special touch to the floral plantings along with her daughter, Paulette. She will be greatly missed.
