Condolence from Tanisha Hall on November 26th, 2020 12:57 pm

My heart is heavy right now. I love the Oswald’s as my own parents. Every time I saw their name show up on my manifest to Rent I knew I would get a hug and an amazing story about their travels. They went on a trip that at first didn’t seem exciting to Mrs. Oswald but turned out to a awesome time they had on a cargo ship. Soon as they came in smiles lit up my office. I will miss the stories about going to visit Alex in Dallas. Hertz team in Waco are still here for you no matter what. Love ya’ll

Condolence from Mark Sclafani on October 24th, 2021 9:57 am

Dear Lou, I don’t know if you will get this or not but we wanted to express our deep sorrow and sympathy for just learning of Donny’s passing. Yesterday, October 23, a photo memory popped up on my phone. It was from 2014 when we were on our Canadian/New England cruise. I was holding not yet 2-year old, Stephen, in Cornerbrook, New Foundland. It brought back great memories of that trip. I did a quick google search and found Donny’s obituary. So very sorry to hear. We talked about that cruise and our Alaska cruise in 2003. What a wonderful time we had; wonderful memories of the sail away out of Vancouver, the Hubbard Glacier, and spending that incredible day touring San Francisco. We have fond memories of your many visits to Baton Rouge, especially when you surprised us on Stephen’s 1st Birthday! Take care and God bless – Mark, Bethany & Stephen
