On behalf of Women Veterans of Louisiana, we would like to extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family of Ms. Lillian Lindeman Williamson, U.S. Army Nurse Corps. Here is a poem that we honor our women veterans with at their service:

She is a woman veteran
Whose service was true
She proudly served
The Red, White and Blue

She gave a part of her life
So others could be free
And without hesitation
She joined unselfishly

She did her job well
With Honor and Pride
And served her great country
With the men alongside

We're proud today to know
That although she is gone
She goes on to glory
After a job "well done"

And so, "Our Dear Sister"
We salute you today
A special soldier laid to rest
In this quiet, solemn way.

Shelly, my love and prayers go out to you and your family. It sounds as if she has led a very joyful life, and now she's reunited with her husband and the Lord.

To Linda and Jean and families:
Our deepest sympathy and wishing God's healing hand to all of you. I will treasure my last two visits to LA with Mom and Dad. One for Jean's wedding and the other after that a couple years later. We are sorry we can't bring mom and dad down there but travel is not on their capabilities list anymore. Aunt Lilly and Uncle Cook were very special to me through the years. Mom and Dad also want to send their sympathy to you also.
