I did not personally know Mrs. Ledoux but I could tell that she was a sweet and loving person. It's sad how death can take someone so dear to us away in one moment. Id like you to know that "God is close to the broken hearted"(Psalms 34:18) and he will remain close to you in this time of grief. My most deepest condolences to The family.

I have known Nancy and Bobby for many years. We moved to Pine ridge in 1970 and lived across the road from them. She was an awesome Mom, friend, and neighbor. She raised 3 beautiful girls with a stern hand, but full of love and faith. We didn't visit daily, but she knew I was there for her and she was there for me. GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN. YOUR WORK ON THIS EARTH IS DONE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TIME TO ENTER THE HEAVENLY GATES. RIP NANCY

Nancy and I met 52 years ago in a trailer park in Lisbon, CT. Bobby and Bill were in the Navy, stationed nearby. When Nancy moved in, I heard there was someone from Louisiana who had just moved in. I couldn't wait to bundle my baby boy up and go to welcome her. I knocked on her door, and that was it. This Texas girl had made a friend for life. We were both so happy to meet someone else from the south! Nancy and Bobby became Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bobby! They loved my Bobby Lynn so much. As time went on, Shelley was born...I was an Aunt! Then came my Ronnie, followed by Nancy's Rhonda, then Dana to complete the pack. We have been Aunt Jackie and Uncle Bill and Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bobby ever since. We have stayed in touch all along, most times letting far too much time pass between visits or contact. For the most part, I have kept up being Facebook Friends with the girls. I have been thinking that we need to get together with Bobby and Nancy for several weeks. They have been on my mind, but now she's gone to be with Jesus, and I will have to wait longer to see her, but I will see her again. This time she will hear of the arrival of someone she already knows, who is from Texas. I love this family with all my heart, and send prayers for Bobby, Shelley, Rhonda, and Dana and their families. I have many treasured memories of all of you. Friends and related through love forever, Jackie Hughes
