Ludwig was a kind and gentle man!

I will always have fond memories
of time with him in late 70's and
80's - talking, fishing, LSU games
and even the Natchitoches Christmas Lights.

My heartfelt sympathies to the
entire Bandaries Family,

I had the pleasure of knowing 'uncle' Lud through Mr. Larry, Mrs. Juliette and Larette many years ago and he was such sweetheart! My thoughts and prayers for Larette and the family.

Everyone knows what a Daddy's little girl is, but they don't think about what a Godfather's little girl is. I know this because I had the best Godfather in the world. Even when I lost my parents in my early 40s, he was there for me. I miss him terribly and our frequent talks and the inspiration he gave me daily when he uplifted me. RIP Uncle Lud, you are finally with Elvis!!

Lud, I love you so much! You will always be a part of my testimony. God used you about 18 years ago to draw me back to Him. You are a man that never met a stranger, a man that loved the Word of God, a man that loved the Lord with your whole heart, and a man that truly loved people. I will miss you greatly. I am very thankful I got to see you and talk to you before your leaving this earth. Heaven gained a true gem April 12th. I can just picture you singing and dancing with Jesus! Susan, my prayers are with you. I have been thinking of the sweet memories I had with Lud and you. Our friendship is eternal. Brian and Brit, my prayers are with you two as well :) Your Dad was such a blessing to so many.

Matthew 25:21(KJV) "His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
