I remember when I was kid in Baton Rouge, La there was only one home away from home for me and that was at John and Lois Vallet’s house. They were the kindest people I’ve ever known and I would always be so excited to eat there. We would have their pepper steak, rice, gravy and vegetables. It was great and I have yet to find anyone who can out do Mrs. Lois. But it’s with a heavy heart that Mrs. Vallet has lost her husband John. He died just last week. I won’t tell you the nickname he and his wife had for me because it’d make you laugh. But he will truly be missed. Here’s the obituary from Baton Rouge:
