My (Sarah's) grandmother, Louise Elder Wood ("Lew") Batchelor, went Home on April 6th after a very long and very graceful battle with cancer.
The service, held in Winston-Salem, was a beautiful tribute to her life! Bagpipes played and Uncle Bill gave one of the best eulogies I have ever been privileged to listen to. It was a beautiful service and one that Mama Lew would be proud of.
Afterwards we all went to the lake to have a meal together in our more comfortable attire!
There the brothers and Aunt Liz planted a Camellia in honor of Mama Lew. The family told our favorite memories and recounted the rich legacy that she has left behind.
We share her love of photography, good food and a breezy day spent on the water. It's because of her that many of us have a deeper grasp of history and a love of antiques. She taught us how to be women of grace and tact and how to slow down and enjoy life to the fullest.

We know that she is now in the presence of the One who will wipe every tear away from our eyes and it is for that reason we have a deeper peace that one day we will be with her again!

sorry for your loss Sarah, but what a celebration of her life! Thankful she is with the Lord.
Sarah, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was amazed when I read this as my Grandma Lou passed away in February of this year. We called her Mama Lou and her name was also LOUISE WOODS.
