There are not enough words to describe how special Louise was. The world was such a better place with her in it and has touched so many lives with her kindness and caring of everyone. May God Bless and keep her as well as Charlie and their daughters Sharon and Kathy.

I am so sorry to hear of this sad, sad news. Louise and I stitched together for many years in the Embroiderer’s Guild and shared a love for needlework. I will remember her smile and warm greetings at the hospital also. It was always fun to see what she was creating with her talented hands. She was loved and will be greatly missed. Suzanne Young

Weezie honey, you will be missed so very much. It is so hard to think that we won’t be seeing each other ever again. It always seemed as if there was tomarrow and we would get together at some time. I know what a loss it is for everyone who knew you and my heart goes out to Charles. You were so close and had such a beautiful marriage. Rest well honey, Aunt Freda

In Christian Love,

Louise was such a sweet, caring person. I did not know her very well, but she alway had a smile on her face and was such a friendly lady. She will be missed by many.
Your family will be in my prayers.
