Marlene, Ronnie, Connie and Kelton: I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. I was out of town last week and didn't get the news until today. I loved hearing the stories Marlene would tell us about her Dad when we worked together at LSUE. Please know that you and all of your family will be in my prayers. Take care.
Just a note to express my sympathy to all of you. I didn't learn of your dad's death until all of the services were over. I always enjoyed meeting your dad and exchanging our "news". He was a fine man who I respected very much. In the past I used to run into him often; but the last few years this didn't happen; and I will miss him. May God bless and keep all of you.
Ronnie, I am so very sorry for your loss. Please let me know if I can do anything.
I am so sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Ardoin. He was my bus driver for years while I attended school. He was always so nice and attentive to the kids. He gave me by first "job" as bus assistant, I opened the door for the kids at different stops and took down names of those kids who were acting up. That was years ago, I am now 36 yrs old, so i remember the impact he had on us. It was great to be greeted by his sweet smile to begin the mornings for us kids. My God bless all of you and know that Mr. Ardoin was very special to alot of us.
