To the Baughman Family, Luella was a wonderful person and my Mom, Ruth Knight, always had many good things to say about her. I think they enjoyed their time together in the Homemakers Club. She had some very fine children who were very successful. You will have many positive memories to remember her by and we wish God's continued blessings on you. May He give you strength and peace in the days ahead. Sincerely, Don and Diane Knight

Our family went to Logansville with her and my favorite memory of her was taking other people to drs. appts. and grocery shopping. My sons use to walk her to her car with an umbrella on rainy days. Our family loved her very much and she was a true inspiration to all who knew her. Therese, Nichole, Cori, Nathanael, Eli & Terad Howard
