:grin:Hi there MChaney! Welcome to MMC! We are all so happy to have you and Louanne's sister here with us as well. We are all so deeply saddened for your loss and our hearts go out to you and your family.... We here at MMC, all of us, have been so deeply touched by Louanne over the years since we have met her. She was a very kind, loving and thoughtful friend to all us here and we shall never forget her.

Louanne was in essence, a very large part of our Christmas spirt here at MMC, over the years, she has touched all of our lives with her love for Christmas, her faith and her passions and that will stay with us forever. We hope that you stay here likewise! Take Care and I hope to see you here in the forums.... :hi:

good morning to all! It is a very sad day for me, as my dearest godmooma (as i called her) will be laid to rest tomorrow. Calling hours and service tonight. I am missing her so incredibly much this morning and asked tan ja if i could join on here so that i can be close to the people who have said so many kind words about my dear aunt/friend/mentor/godmother. There will truly never be another like her, and i just cannot believe she will not be there for the rest of my life. I am glad for her that she is reunited with her furbabies and so many others who have gone before her, but i cannot help feeling this hole in my life where her light once shone. It is going to be a very sad christmas for us this year. My sister has found a special way to honor louanne (i always spelled it with an e because she liked queen anne spelled with an e so much) at her wedding. She could not bear the thought of taking louanne off of her guest list, so she is reserving her chair for her, with a rose, and we know that she will be there with us in spirit. My spirits are so crushed this morning. I just want to talk with her so bad, and she is no longer there. I'm sorry to be such a downer this morning. Thank you all so much for all of the kind words i have been seeing about my dearest godmooma! And thanks for listening to a very downhearted niece this morning...i am planning on sticking around on here since it was so dear to louanne so i hope to talk to you all again soon!:rudolph:

(((hugs)))

Welcome to the family! So sorry to hear of your and our loss of a dear family member, friend, mentor.... Always know that she is looking down on you and sending rays of sunshine, raindrops of joy, rainbows just because. Each snowflake is unique, just as Louanne was, but she was the liveliest snowflake on here. You are always in our thoughts, hearts and prayers.

Louanne Lives

Welcome and make yourself at home.
Louanne's spirit abounds on most of these pages either by welcoming a newcomer, giving hope and love to someone in need, saying a prayer for someone who needed God's love, encouraging a lost soul, sharing her faith by reminding us what Jesus would want us to do, letting off steam caused by some not so nice person through her work. Yes Louanne lives through this place we all call home.

God Bless you and yours

Rob

Thank you for sharing with us. We all miss her, but the first Christmas without her will be a little less merry.

 

[Seawaters]

All the sentiments on here are so real. We do miss Louanne so much, and will feel this loss even more at Christmas.

 

[Undrtakr]

We ALL love her and will miss her dearly!

Honestly, its been difficult for me. I had to step away for a bit. I needed to reflect and think for a while.

The night I heard of her passing, I was driving to get some dinner. Someone turned on their Christmas lights around the corner from me, it was very, very strange but also comforting.

I had the realization that Louann would give me a good talking to if I spent too long being sad over her passing. She would tell me she was sorry for my loss and that it was the persons time to go. She would say "Adam, the person is always with you, with god, in heaven, watching over you."

She would tell me that I need to live my life the best that I can, seek happiness and love. That's what was so great about her, she would tell me like it is. She would then come back and say "I hope that wasn't too harsh.." even though it never was. She was always so thoughtful and cared so much. Its so strange to me that I never knew her in person, but she was such an important member here and on facebook. She would always comment, or like what I post. She was a beacon of the Christmas spirit and I won't forget that.

What also prompted me to post was that I got a spam email from Louann this morning! I hope her family knows what a dear, sweet person she was. That she was there for many of us and won't ever be forgotten. She will be dearly missed.

My dear sweet Godmooma has now been laid to rest. While we miss her so much here, we know she is now with God and the many who left this world before her. Thank you all so much for the continued kind words about Louanne and keep them coming! It helps for those of us who knew her in person to be able to see what an impact she made on all of you, whom she held so dear!:merry:

Welcome to the MMC community, MChaney. Thank you for sharing your many memories of Louann with us. She was a one of a kind person, such a true friend. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family. Stop in here when you need someone to talk to - we're always here. God Bless.

THis is such a shock as I have just found out about this. Louanne was like a second Mom to me she was the first person I ever talked to when I joined this message board and we both shared a love of animals. I am so sorry for you and all of her family. You will be in my prayers and I will never forget Louanne and I can't help but realize all of our Christmasas will not be the same without her. Rest in peace Louanne we love you!!!
