She was our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and we are blessed to have shared in her life. Jane was born on September 11, 1919 in Greenville, South Carolina, the daughter of Margaret Booker Allison and Warren Samuel Allison. She grew up in Richmond, Virginia where she began her lifelong walk with the Lord, attending church, Sunday school, and church camps in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Jane attended Furman University in Greenville, and during World War II moved with her family to Washington D.C. It was there that she met her wonderful husband of 56 years, Harold Douglas Brennand. Jane and Harold began their married life in New Orleans, Louisiana where they built a beautiful marriage founded on faith, anchored in their beloved Rayne Memorial Methodist Church, and focused on their "girls", Allison and Ann. Jane was active in many organizations in New Orleans: The Orleans Club, New Orleans Country Club, the Ladies Golf Association, McGehee School, the Petit Salon, Saint Anna's Home, Stuart Clan, Stock Club, Daughters of the American Revolution, the Colonial Dames, and Rayne Memorial Methodist Church where she served in many capacities. Jane had a love of learning that lasted her whole life. She was an avid reader, historian, speaker, genealogist, and author of a book on her family history, and she shared these loves with her friends and family. She was admired wherever she went as evidenced by the strong friendships she made in New Orleans, Houston, and most recently in San Antonio. She had the gift of making everyone feel special, and one of her greatest joys was sharing the beautiful roses from her garden. The times Jane spent in West Texas at the ranch were some of her most cherished memories, for she saw God's hand in the beauty around her and His glory in the Texas sunsets. Her treasures on earth were her family and friends, and her memory will live on in our hearts forever. Jane was preceded in death by her husband, Harold Douglas Brennand; her parents, Margaret and Warren Allison; her brother, Robert B. Allison of Atlanta, Georgia and her sister, Lois A. Eisinger of Potomac, Maryland. She is survived by her daughters, Allison Brennand George and her husband, Dawson George of Houston, and Ann Brennand Watson of San Antonio; and her grandchildren: Kathryn George Murray and her husband, Sam; Douglas Barrett George and his wife, Katherine; Emily George Seiders and her husband, Rick; Robert Glen Watson and his wife, Lacey; Carey Watson Hildebrand and her husband, David. Mama will be missed by her great-grandchildren: Jane, Margaret and Claire Murray; Haylie and Madeline George; Gray Seiders; Emmy and Thomas Watson; Jackson, Harton and Hudson Hildebrand.

To us, Bill Bryant's purpose was no mystery. He taught us how to live fully and how to laugh hard. Most of all, he taught us how to love. Through his example, our lives are better lived. We learned that hard work and open arms will pay off in the end. That is, of course, as he would say "If the Good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise". Every word out of his smart aleck mouth brought more laughter than most people will ever experience; whether he was telling you goodbye by saying "Plant you now, dig you later", or saying "Hello Gorgeous" to women or "Hey Uglier than Me" to men. Our hearts could only try and mimic the joy he, without trying, brought to us all. However, the love he radiated is what will be remembered most. He parented five children of his own and happily parented countless others that were drawn completely to him. He loved deeply one woman for over 54 years. He embraced this thing we call life, learning everything it had to offer him and showed us how to love in a way we hope to carry with us. Although we tried to help him fight, we watched our stronghold grow ever weaker and more fragile. Finally, even though we thought he taught us everything he knew, he inspired us one last time. On Wednesday, July 27th, 2011, he showed us how to let go and be free. Free of his pain and free of his illness, he will forever continue to be our rock, teaching us how to live, showing us how to laugh, and embracing us from heaven with his love. Bill is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Mary Sue Thompson Bryant, his children: Rosalyn Bryant, Criss Bryant, Wanda Bryant Cooper, and Susan Bryant-Hirsig; countless children and grandchildren that adopted him; 9 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers: Jack Bryant, James Bryant, Jerry Bryant, and Edison Bryant; and a sister, Dara Bryant.

Following active and inactive service in the U. S. Coast Guard, he worked in Michigan/Ohio in the finance business which brought him to New Orleans.

Ten years later, he sold that business, and opened Crawford Distributing Company, Inc. in Elmwood Industrial Park, and was recognized nationally as a top distributor of air con! ditioning and heating, appliances, parts and supplies catering to the manufactured housing industry.

Louis earned his B.S. degree from the University of Southwestern Louisiana, his M.S. degree from Peabody College of Vanderbilt University, and his Ph.D. from Florida State University. Louis loved being a psychologist and touched the lives of many people who will miss him. Music was integral to his life; and, he was a voracious reader who never tired of learning. But, his passion was sailing in his yacht, Starship. He loved being the captain of his ship and simply being on the water whether it was at anchor or racing to Mexico. His fondest memories were of sailing trips he shared with his sailing buddies. After Hurricane Ivan destroyed his boat, Louis learned that wonderful things could happen away from the water. He loved learning to create what he called his "park," the grounds surrounding his Alabama home. And, he found that riding a mower was akin to sailing. When he learned a new skill around the park, he was quite pleased with himself. He was so proud of his bees and the honey they produced, as well as his chickens and their eggs. But, his best new love was Daisy, the dog who found him. Louis leaves his wife of 36 year, Marcia DeSonier; his stepsons: Michael Kenty, PhD, of Memphis, TN and John Kenty of Colorado Springs, CO; his mother, Beverly deVerges DeSonier of Lake Charles, LA; his brothers: Keith F. DeSonier, MD, (Dale) also of Lake Charles, and James P. DeSonier (Cindy) of Mandeville, LA; and his sister, Kim DeSonier Duckworth of New Orleans as well as numerous nieces and a nephew. Louis is the son of the late Judge Louis G. DeSonier, Jr. The world was a better place with Louis in it. He will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to know and love him. A private celebration of his life will be scheduled.

Carol Sue Hurst Deutsch passed away on Thursday, August 4, 2011. She was a resident of Crown Point, Louisiana. She was the daughter of the late Pauline Fuller Fadden and Homer Howard Hurst and was born at Station Hospital, Lakeland Army Airfield, Florida. She graduated from Melrose High School in 1961. Carol was accepted to the Charity School of Nursing and completed her R.N. degree in 1975. During that time she married Dr. Jules Deutsch and divorced in 2003. They had two children: a son, Dana; and a daughter, Lara. Carol formed the Jo Ellen Smith Auxiliary in 1975 and became its first president. She was also an officer and member of various medical and auxilary groups at Meadowcrest Hospital. In 1981 she received a Masters' degree in Social Work from Tulane University, and in 1982 received a B.S. in Psychology from Loyola. She would not know how significant her MSW training would beomce until 1982 when her daughter Lara was murdered at the age of twelve. Carol then formed Parents of Murdered Children with a mission to assist parents through the grieving process and the Criminial Justice System. In 1990, Carol joined forces with Victims and Citizens Against Crime, Inc., and devoted her life to creating laws to ensure victims and their families had rights in Louisiana. One such law created a state hotline for victims/families to be informed of the continuous status of the offernder who had forever changed their families' lives. Carol was also instrumental in the creation of new laws such as requiring Victim Assistance Coordinators in District Attorney's offices throughout the state, assisting in rewriting Criminal Statues and creating laws to hold criminal offenders more accountable, including requiring violent offenders to serve 85% of their sentences. During the 90's, she was also a tireless fundraiser for VCAC, including chairing its annual appreciation banquet held at the Balcony, in Metairie to recognize those individuals who worked within the Criminal Justice System who assisted victims/families through its process. Carol's inherent love of animals was another of her life's passions. She joined Tricia Boudoin in working on behalf of abused animals which created for them a sisterhood, a long time friendship, and a strong bond. Together they joined hands to assist P.A.W.S., the Plaquemines Animal Welfare Society, a local "no kill" animal shelter through donations and volunteer work. Carol's home became a refuge for unwanted and abused dogs. She leaves behind four of those dogs: C.D., Ame', Zeb, and Dizzy. Due to the aforementioned strong alliance to assist and nurture foundling animals and other related causes, Tricia became Carol's earthly angel, serving as her caretaker in the last months of her life, and present at her passing. Carol was compassionte, loving and generous, living her life with genuine joy and hope in her heart that she made life "better" for all who crossed her path and loved her. She leaves a valuable legacy for all to emulate. Carol is survived by her son, Dana Marc Deutsch and his wife, Julia; and grandchildren: Lara and Jaime of Metairie, LA; her brothers and a sister: Dennis Kinard and his wife, Joann; Becky Giglio and her husband, Vincent; David Schellinger and his wife, Tong Li all of Tampa, FL; many nieces and nephews; and a legion of devoted friends throughout the country. Family and friends are grateful to Canon Hospice and A First Name Basis for the outstanding, compassionate and loving care that their employees provided for Carol during the last days of her life. We are forever indebted to them. Carol's life will be honored during a private Memorial Service to be held at a future date and place according to her expressed wish.

She was born on January 10, 1944 in New Orleans, LA and has been a resident of Texas for the past 21 years. She is survived by her devoted husband, Philip C Dupler; a son, Richard David Dupler of Oakland, CA; a son, Todd Franklin Dupler, his wife Chimene, and their three daughters, the light of Jackie's life, Reagan, Jordan, & Riley Dupler, of Washington, D.C.; three sisters: Paulette Flanagan, (Daniel); Lynette Goux, (Ronald); & Gaylette Foster (Russell); two nephews Timothy Goux and Jeremy Goux; one niece, Lena Farr (Stuart); one great-nephew Jack Farr; cousins Barbara Simmons (James) and their children Paul & Abigayle; loving members of her Dupler family along with countless friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Richard Walter Richerson and Lena Day Richerson. Jackette graduated from Warren Easton High School in New Orleans which was followed by a secretarial science degree from Soule College, also in New Orleans. She was an accomplished executive secretary for many years before retiring to become a full time wife and mother to her two sons. After a move to Lafayette in 1976, she became very involved with women's clubs, auxiliaries, and church activities. She loved to plan & host special events. After moving to Houston in 1989, she enjoyed yet another career when she became an administrative assistant in the world of financial planning. But her love for interior design tugged at her heart & she channeled her talents in that direction. Her design business was quite a success and something she thoroughly enjoyed. In recent years, her time and talent turned towards giving. She devoted herself to helping others and found immense joy in doing so. Jackie was known by all her friends to be a planner, an organizer, a decorator, and an accomplished shopper. She enjoyed travelling, especially cruises. Much of her time and energies were directed to spoiling her three adorable granddaughters. She loved the Lord above all, and her involvement with her church family filled her heart with gladness. A special thanks to Dr. Howard Monsour, Jr. for the medical expertise he provided Jackette for so many years. The family wishes to convey their gratitude for the devotion he exhibited to her care as she courageously fought her battle against Hepatitis 'C'.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Hilda Louise Levins and John Wallace Frabbiele, and his brother, Howard Frabbiele. Left to remember him are his wife of 55 years, Joan Brock Frabbiele, his children, Debra F. Rome (Dave), Kim F. Gauchet (Keith) and Joseph Bosia Frabbiele (Lisa). The grandchildren who will forever remember their Pawpaw are Amy Rome Guevara (Ben), David Rome, Ashley and Daniel Gauchet, and Jacob and Brandon Frabbiele. Jack was also very fortunate to have been able to spend time with his great- grandchildren Grayson and Peyton Guevara and Kobi Rome. Jack was born into a wonderful Italian family who will miss him greatly. The brothers and sisters he leaves behind are Frank Frabbiele (Cathy), Johnny Frabbiele (Barbara), Jeannie Dufrene (Cecil), and Judy Beechler (Fred). Jack began his legacy as the grandson of Sicilian immigrants and loved his Italian heritage. As a young man he chose to enroll in the Marine Corps and served in the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton. He was proud to be a Private First Class in the Amtrak's Division. He met Joan, the love of his life, as a teenager. Both of them had movie star faces and were a smashing couple. Jack spent 32 years working for NOPSI(Entergy). He eagerly anticipated retirement so that he could spend his time with family and at his camp. Jack absolutely loved the time he spent in Lafitte fishing. There weren't many things he enjoyed more than taking Chico or Ziggy for a ride down to the camp to cut the grass or catch some dinner. Jack's many friends helped him enjoy his life and gave him many good times. Jack had many struggles after his diagnosis but with each hurdle he fought like a former Marine would have battled an enemy. Jack reached out to God for strength and support and accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. This relationship helped him greatly. He is alive forevermore since Jesus paid his full penalty. The family wishes to thank Doctors Russo, Gurtler, and Monsour for their skill and expertise in his treatment. They would also like to express gratitude towards the nurses and staff at East Jefferson General Hospital in making his journey to Heaven peaceful. Josie Lanzatta and helpers are also thanked for their time and many efforts towards his happiness. The family is eternally grateful for the many happy memories Jack left them to enjoy.
