Our family has lost a dear friend. Lou and the Babin family were an icon from the early days of the Savannah Sugar Refinery moving from Louisiana. A dear friend of my mother (Vivian Dupuy Kenney and aunt,Marjorie Dupuy Teston)since childhood. Lou was often known to play pranks on her peers growing up together at the Refinery. Lou knew how to make you laugh,she loved children and each of us were blessed to enjoy her and listen to her many stories. She touched so many lives and I know she will be welcomed into the gates of heaven.
