The service today was very nice and I know she is pleased with the honor and respect your family showed today. May the Lord comfort you and help you to recall all the fun memories you shared.
I remember some fun times with her at the women's group at Natural Steps Baptist Church.

John, Jim and Jeff,
I was so sorry to hear that your Mother had passed away so unexpectedly. It is hard when you lose a parent. Louise will always have a special place in my heart. I still have something special that she made for me many years ago that I still treasure to this day.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your families during this difficult time. God Bless.

I have the privilege of leading our interdenominational Bible study at Shepherd’s Cove. Louise was a faithful attender. Louise always had something to share, be it an article she had read or something she made with her hands. She seemed to always have others on her mind and in her heart. She believed in prayer. She shared her concerns for family and friends without hesitation.
It was a joy to know her. She will be missed.

Louise was an important part of the family gatherings - she always had a smile on her face and in her heart. Anytime anyone visited her home - you could count on a freshly baked cake and coffee served with that smile. She loved family and family time. She was a friend to me - one I will never forget.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

I have very fond memories of going to Church with Louise and Al at Pinnacle. She was always willing to do anything that needed to be done at Church. She was a wonderful Friend and will be missed by everyone who knew her.
I pray that God's Peace and Comfort will surround all of the Family.
