Remembered

Lois Besemer

1919–1999

Your smile, laughter, conversation, and virtually unbreakable good cheer are sorely missed by all who knew you. What I wouldn’t give to bake you another pie (or have you bake me one) or sit with you and chat about plants. You were far more than my grandmother — you were my friend. And I miss you even more at Mardi Gras!

Ashley Morris

1965–2008

Goodbye, Ashley, the Platonic ideal of New Orleanians. When you love NOLA enough to commute to a job in Chicago — well, enough said.

Golden G. Richard, Jr.

1937–2006

Goodbye, Dad, a/k/a G2. Good travels, Son of Louisiana.

Gerrod Richard

1967–2001

Goodbye, brother. Much too soon.

Georgia Besemer Richard

1942–2015

Goodbye, Mom.

Leigh Baker-Ronco

–2015

Goodbye, my strange and wonderful friend.
