He was blessed to spend 60 years in marriage with his beloved wife, Gloria. After serving in the United States Navy during WWII, Billy's career included serving as clerk of criminal courts in Jefferson and Orleans Parishes. He was a dedicated family man, whose love of family was only eclipsed by his love of God. A devout and active Catholic, Billy was a member of the St. Vincent DePaul Society at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Lakeshore, Mississippi and a Eucharistic Minister, who delivered meals and the Eucharist to shut-ins for many years. He also solicited and distributed food to the needy for many Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. And, he was a perennial Special Olympics Volunteer. A gregarious, fun loving person, Billy never met a stranger. Those fortunate many to be numbered among his friends frequently heard his sincere closing entreat, 'Call me if you need anything.' Helping people in need was his mantra and is the legacy he leaves. Simply put, Billy lived his faith, was the consummate family man and is deserving of the love he earned from those who knew him. The words of St. Paul are called to mind when reflecting on Billy's life, 'I have finished the race, I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith.' He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Jimmy spent his last few weeks on this earth comfortably in his own home, in his own bed, which fulfilled his final wishes. Born on May 8, 1912, he was 96. He now reunites in heaven with his wife of 56 years, Rita Bernard Mermilliod, his son, Warren J. Mermilliod, III, his mother Ruby Van Der Linden Alpha and his brothers Jay, Arthur, Charles and Van. Jimmy is survived by his sons Jerome P. Lande, Jr. and Robert B. Mermilliod, grandsons Philip Lande and Jarrott Lande, great-grandson Jarrott Lande, II, plus nieces and nephews, including the new patriarch of the Mermilliod family, Richard Mermilliod. Jimmy grew up in Jefferson and New Orleans and graduated from Jesuit High School with the class of 1930. This strong classical education engendered a lifelong love of reading, especially history, that enabled him to achieve a massive knowledge of the Civil War and World War II. In World War II, Jimmy enlisted in the U.S. Army and served honorably as an armourer and as trainer, and was discharged as a Staff Sgt. after the war was won. In 1949, he married his bride Rita and moved to Metairie in 1950 to raise his family while continuing his career with the U.S. Postal Service, from which he retired in 1982. Jimmy was a lover of the outdoors, whether it be taking his wife and kids to picnics, or to swim in the lake or to go crabbing or crawfishing. Weekends were often spent at 'The Camp' at the Rigolets. When Jimmy and Rita could spare the time on Saturday nights, they were off dancing at the Falstaff Room of the Jax Room or the supper-dances given by the Zeus and Diana Carnival Clubs. Jimmy was a former member of the Fort Pike Volunteer Fire Dept., the Turnbull Marching Club, the Boaz Social Club and the Saints John Lodge of the Louisiana F & A Masons. He grew up in the Great Depression and was part of the Greatest Generation that won World War II. He sent all three of his sons to Louisiana State University, with no thought of the sacrifice involved. But if Jimmy could write his own epitaph, he would probably say that he was always kind to children and animals, especially his beloved German Shepherd Dogs.

Mohr, of New Orleans, LA, died September 28, 2008 after a brief, but courageous, battle against cancer. A quick wit, sparkling eyes, an offer to help, a funny anecdote, a historical fact pulled from thin air, a recipe shared - these were all part of how her friends came to know and love Lisa Mohr. Born in Illinois in 1954, Lisa's passion for history, literature, art, music, food and travel propelled her on a journey around the world. She taught English and composition at the University of Iowa, ran art therapy classes in Miami, worked as a cook on a barge on the Nile and in an Israeli kibbutz, ran her family's business, worked as a journalist, and traveled throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Central America, Mexico, and the United States. In 2003, Lisa moved to New Orleans - quickly embracing the rich textures of the city - to write a novel engendered by an award she received from the Illinois Arts Council. Lisa became immersed in her new community: she worked as a free-lance correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, wrote about and photographed New Orleans with FEMA, and served on the board of the New Orleans Food & Farm Network. Lisa was employed by Parkway Partners, an organization that promotes urban gardens, and the Melrose Hotel. Lisa is survived by her nieces: Michelle, Olivia and Ava, two brothers, aunts,d cousins, and countless friends.

As a young woman, she went on to work as a pediatrician's nurse and later as a commercial loan officer for Commercial Credit Co., from where she later retired. A single parent, she was able to provide everything necessary and more for her only child. A consummate lover of life, Helena was a woman who 'never met a stranger'.

Up until her passing she remained an active and engaged person who was progressively-minded and enthralled by current events and day-to-day life. She counted both young and old among her many friends. When packages would arrive in the mail, Helena would save the packing material for neighborhood children who would come around asking, 'Miss Helena, do you have any bubble wrap?' She'd smile and hand it over to them and the children would happily stomp on it and pop it on the sidewalk. She is survived by her son John J. Sanderford of Abita Springs and her niece Monique McGee of Covington, who loved Helena like both a big sister and a best friend. Helena is also survived by many other nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews, along with her sister Venus Murret of Kenner, LA.

The cause of death was breast cancer. Dr. Wallick was born on August 8, 1926 in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she lived until 2005. Following Hurricane Katrina, she relocated to Gainesville, Florida. The daughter of Bruno and Anna B. Marcus, Dr. Wallick was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 58 years, Mervin Wallick. A brilliant student and teacher, Dr. Wallick devoted her life to learning, education, and service. She graduated from McMain High School in New Orleans at the head of her class at 16 and won a scholarship to Newcomb College, but family circumstances following the Depression and during World War II required her to work instead. After years of working, for many of them as teacher and director of Communal Nursery School, and caring for her three young children, she enrolled at LSUNO, where she graduated summa cum laude. Dr. Wallick went on to receive her M. A. and Ph. D. from the University of New Orleans. Dr. Wallick enjoyed a long and distinguished career, which included her tenure as Educational Director of the Therapeutic Nursery School at LSUMC and Professor of Psychiatry at LSUMC, where she was also Coordinator of Academic Programs. She loved her work, but retired in 2002 in order to care for her then-ailing husband. The author and co-author of over 50 scholarly publications, including articles in the prestigious American Journal of Psychiatry, Dr. Wallick wrote on and was known for her work on mother-infant bonding, autism, and diversity in medical education. Her dissertation on mother-infant bonding at Charity Hospital in New Orleans led a change in that hospital's policy in favor of allowing mothers to care for, breast feed, and bond with their newborn children. She adapted a technique of using sign language in teaching autistic children and wrote widely of her experiences. But perhaps the work of which she was most proud involved diversity in education, particularly the support of gay and lesbian students and the education of the larger community in the needs and rights of minorities. Dr. Wallick was a national pioneer in integrating gay and lesbian issues into medical training; she formed a panel of gay and lesbian medical professional who regularly talked with students at LSU, Tulane, and at Millsaps College, in Jackson, MS. Starting in 1983, Dr. Wallick organized the first gay-affirmative teaching programs at LSU and Tulane Medical Schools and served as Student-Faculty Liason for Gay and Lesbian Issues. She worked to ban discrimination in hiring practices and worked as a tireless advocate for her colleagues and students. For her work, Dr. Wallick was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Pfizer Award for Excellence in Research, Education and Patient Care and the LSU Medical School Women in Medicine Award. In 2002, she received the Human Rights Campaign Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Leadership and Service to the Lesbian and Gay Community. Dr. Wallick was an inspiration to her friends and family, not only for her remarkable professional accomplishments but also for her extraordinary personal courage. When she was first diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 59, she continued to work full time through her chemotherapy and in her later bouts with the disease and with other debilitating medical conditions, she always maintained her optimism and her love of life, simply going forward with determination. Her children, grandchildren, and extended family and friends will remember her and generous and giving-a great listener and loyal advocate. Dr. Wallick was sustained through her life by her Judaism. She was a member and supporter of three congregations: Shir Chadash and Temple Sinai in New Orleans and Congregation B'nai Israel in Gainesville. With a longtime commitment to Jewish education, she read widely in Jewish literature and contributed incisive book reviews to several publications, as recently as last year. For her contributions to the diversity and justice, she was recognized by the Jewish Women's Archive in 2005 as a woman 'who dared to change the world.' Dr. Wallick is survived by her brother, Mark Marcus of Palm Springs, California; children, Michael J. Wallick 'Faith', of Austin, Texas; Judith Wallick Page 'William', of Gainesville, Florida; and Jonathan M. Wallick 'Marjorie Esman', of New Orleans; grandchildren, Talitha Muniz Wallick of Austin, Texas; Rebekah Page-Gourley, of Detroit, Michigan; Hannah M. Page, of Athens, Georgia; Ariel C.
