Leave a Tribute
Mama Lou
I can't remember the exact day or year that I met Mrs. Louise Davis. I do know that I was a young girl and she was a friend and fellow church member to my mother, Helen Ingersoll. They were not the type of girl friends that were in and out of each others homes, but they were the best of friends. I watched them interact with one another at church and singing in the choir together. When they talked on the phone, it could last for hours!
I soon began to refer to Mrs. Lou as Mama Lou because I knew that I could count on her as a mama. She was an awesome seamstress, having sewn my senior prom gown and a whole lot for everyone else. She kept me laughing everytime I encountered her whether in person or by phone.
I remember when she was in a bad car accident and Mama was called. It scared Mama, but she was right there with Mama Lou and family. When Mama had surgery, Mama Lou was there with us. When either our family or her family experienced a death, they were always there t support one another.
In February 2014, Mama died and Mama Lou was right there with us. I know that it broke her heart, losing a close friend, but she encouraged us and acted just as a mother would.
I'm going to miss her, but rejoice knowing that her and Ms. Helen are back together.
I love you all and pray continued peace and strength over your lives,
Tonya "Cookie" Ingersoll Hodrick
