She loved to cook, host family gatherings, and working crossword puzzles with Dan. Her interests included developing the genealogy of her family and renewing contacts with relatives.
The loss of Louise has left a deep void in the lives and hearts of her cherished family. She will be terribly missed and we are thankful for the time and love that we shared with her. We know that God needs Angels to help Him do His work and that He has chosen a courageous Angel in Louise who will be by his side and help us through these trying times. Our precious wife, mother and grandma will now be with us forever in the Spirit of the Lord.
