Subject: To the family of Crindel Stewart

I have thought often about Mrs. Stewart throughout the years and have many fond memories of her.

I began my career as a legal secretary employed by Jeff Townsend while a senior at Lake Charles High. After graduating from law school, Jeff Townsend rented office space from Mr. & Mrs. Stewart at the office on Alamo Street. My office was across the hall from Mrs. Stewart. As you can imagine, I did not have any experience with legal matters nor day to day secretarial tasks. Mrs. Stewart was my salvation. I kept a notebook and each time I had to ask her assistance I would jot down notes so that I would not have to constantly interrupt her throughout the day. She was very kind and patient with me and I learned so much from her. After I graduated from high school, I continued in the legal field where I remain today.

Mrs. Stewart will always be in my heart and memory.

My condolences to the family. I am truly sorry for your loss.
I
Georgia A. Welch
