Sue served many years as the director of the Louisiana Church of God Youth Fellowship. She served on the steering committee for the founding of the Northlake Crisis Pregnancy Center also serving as volunteer and eventually the Director for many years. Sue's life as a Christian can be summed up with one word, servant. From the beginning of her walk with Jesus she has been a servant. Sue was gifted with the ability to talk with and to people who were often struggling with life and spiritual matters. She could tell you the truth about your situation and make you feel loved at the same time. She has had many children not born to her but given to her by God. Many people have called her Mom and Grandma who are not part of her biological family. Sometimes her biological family was required to make room for others in their home as Sue extended the love of God to those who had need of a family and another "Mom". Pastor Ron Allen and the family members extend their thanks and blessings to all who have given support and love during their struggle against cancer. A special thanks is extended to the special people God sent our way via North Oaks Hospital Hospice, they are angels of mercy indeed.

Gerry was born in Colon, Republic of Panama, on February 22, 1950. He was a gregarious person, considerate, kind and generous. A champion golfer, he attended college on a golf scholarship and, at various times, held the course record at many of the courses in Panama and the Panama Canal Zone. A consummate sportsman, he always encouraged and applauded those he played with and against. In 1975 he married Kristin, whom he had known in high school. He worked for the Panama Canal Company, rising rapidly through the ranks. He received performance awards almost every year of his employment. Gerry and family resided in the Panama Canal Zone until 1983. At that time they relocated to New Orleans where he managed the Panama Canal Commission's Logistical Office. After retiring in 1999 Gerry realized a life-long dream of starting his own business. The births of his son in 1981 and daughter in 1986 added the only elements in his life that surpassed golf as a passion. As they grew older he devoted more time to their sports and other activities. He was extremely proud of them, their academic and athletic accomplishments. A fixture on Leanne's softball circuit he promoted fierce competition, but ensured fun and humor were abundant in those and all his activities.

Thompson, Jr. was born to the late Willie Westley and Annie Anthony Thompson, Sr. on April 23, 1918 in Modeste, Louisiana. He was the second child of nine children to his proud and loving parents. He completed his early childhood education in Ascension Parish. In June 1943, Willie joined the U.S. Navy to become Seaman First Class (Seabee) Willie W. Thompson, Jr. After 60 years, on behalf of the Navy and the President of the United States, Seabee Thompson was presented with the Navy Commendation Medal for meritorious service while deployed with the 14th Special Naval Construction Battalion posted in the Marshall Islands. In November 1944, during two separate incidents, Seabee Thompson "distinguished himself by exceptional heroism while responding to frantic cries of 'man overboard' when he leaped into the perilous waters of the South Pacific from the deck of a Higgins landing craft, the premier naval combat boat of World War II. His decisive and aggressive action and superb performance without regard to personal safety far exceeded the call of duty and saved the lives of two Sailors in imminent danger of drowning. Seaman Thompson's heroic effort and devotion to duty reflected great credit upon himself and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Naval Service." (Captain A.J. Rizzo, October 2004) Before joining the Navy, Willie met his soul mate and partner in life, Helen R. White in New Orleans, LA. On February 26, 1946, Willie and Helen road uptown on a streetcar trolley to Holy Redeemer Church and were married. With this union, two children, Joan and Westley, were nurtured and loved. Willie was a devoted and supportive husband, father and family man. He was very proud of his family. And, always having kind and uplifting words, he encouraged and supported many to pursue their goals and aspirations. To his close and adoring family, Willie is affectionately known as "Brother". For more than 50 years, Willie and his family lived in St. Bernard Parish. He was a dedicated and faithful Christian servant to St. Raymond Roman Catholic Church and an active civic leader and citizen, serving and participating on numerous civic and community organizations in St. Bernard Parish. Willie had a satisfying 60- year career as a Deputy Civil Sheriff in Orleans Parish. Also, he had an entrepreneur spirit. He was a manager and part owner of the Crescent City Creoles Negro baseball team and President of W.W. Thompson Construction Company, managed by his son. He was a master craftsman, and enjoyed building and repairing homes for neighbors and friends. Willie W. Thompson was preceded in death by his son: Westley W. Thompson; brothers: Bishop Joseph A. Thompson (Carrie) and Edward C. Thompson (Shirley); and sister-in-law: Shirley Thompson (Newton). Willie W. Thompson, Jr. was a true "man among men". He never met a stranger, living modestly, humbly, and with love for all in his heart. He loved his family and enjoyed all sports. On Saturday, October 22, 2007, at the New Iberia Medical Center in New Iberia, LA, our most cherished and beloved departed this life and took residence with his Savior. He will be missed by many and remembered by all who knew him. To mourn and cherish his memories, Willie W.
