Broussard's last meal request was for smothered chicken and rice, pinto bens with salt pork, corn, homemade rolls and pecan pie. His last words were "I just want everyone to know this here is a tragedy. What happened to Dianna, Corey, and what is happening to me, is a tragedy. Here I am Lord, I have come to do your will."
