To Pat, Todd, Scott and the entire family of our dear Lou, please know that we love you all, and you are in our hearts and our prayers as we all mourn the loss of a wonderful woman. During the past few years, one of the many blessings we have enjoyed after our dear dad, Bill Jernigan, married his beautiful wife Patricia, was getting to know Pat and her loved ones–including her mother, Lou. Our visits to Tulsa often included chats and/or meals at the Methodist Manor or at the Jernigan home with Lou. She was always kind, always fun, always entertaining. What a story-teller! When you are in the presence of a woman with nearly a century of history at her command, who loves to communicate across many generations, you don’t want to miss a minute. Lou may have embellished a story here or there, as all good story-tellers do, but she was genuine,authentic, loving, strong, and you always felt better about life after spending time with her. We will all miss her. We are all better people because she was in our lives. We are grateful to God for Lou.
