Rest in Peace Sweet Lady. You have meant the world to me and to so many others. I sure will miss our long conversations and laughs together. I’m sure you had a lot of happy people to see you when you got to Heaven. Love you and Will Cherish you Always. Vicky
My dear sweet Louise. I’m so very lucky you came into my life by chance. Your beautiful group of ladies welcomed my Mom with love and understanding when Joey passed. What a great friendship formed over all these years! You will be greatly missed in this world, but you have touched so many lives in which you will live on in the amazing memories. I’m so thankful I’m fortunate to have some of my own to keep you near. My love, thoughts, and prayers to your family.
Louise, this square isn’t big enough to say all I/we have to say, so this will be short, you know I don’t talk much, but it is from the heart. You will be missed my so many, and I believe that anyone that knew you loved you. Your family was very blessed to have you here for so long. I know we were blessed to know you and call you our friend. Just knowing you was a treasure. Sorry we had to meet the way we did, but it was Gods plan I’m sure. I and Carole will miss you so much, but you are in a better place dear. You are with our Lord and all those that loved you and went before you. Will always love you and miss you dear. Now you rest in peace, and one day we will meet again.
We will forever remember the wonderful memories with you. Maybe now you can put away those “fighting britches” you so admirably wore when necessary! Love you lady!
Louise:
My great friend, neighbor, and helper I will miss you and your kind and generous heart. You were so helpful during my trials with my husband and then my mother.. You were like the sister I never had. I will never forget you and know you are the newest of angels in the heavens above. Your love for others will never be forgotten. You will have a special place in the garden of the hereafter. Love you to the moon and back!❤️
What a lady!!! Her ever-present joy and zest for life and living will live on with so many. It was a blessing and privilege to call her friend.
Met Louise many years ago when we worked together at the VA. Such a sweet caring fun loving lady who always made you feel so good. After retirement ran in to her many times and it always turned into long enjoyable chats. My calls to her were wonderful as she too loved to reminisce about the good ole days. She was always so upbeat and positive. She will be missed. Now singing and laughing with the angels!
Every Sunday in church I would see Louise, sitting with the other ladies. Walking in through the Sanctuary doors, you could always see them sitting together, filling most of a whole pew to the right of the main aisle. Louise always had a lovely smile for you. When service was over, again she would greet me (and everyone), with that warm smile. She would usually take my hand and squeeze it slightly, as she looked directly into my eyes to ask how I was. She always made me feel like she really did want to know what was going on it my life. No matter what, she always had that flame and sparkle in her. She surely will be missed.
Louise and I worked together at the VAMC-JB. We bonded immediately because we both had 2 sons and we were southerners. She was fashionable and had a multitude of southern sayings to describe all situations. I visited her several times at her home on Telegraph. One time she invited Rick Coger, his wife, Lilian and me for lunch. She served us chicken salad and her homemade sweet pickles. I was hesitant at first but she kept asking if I had tasted them. When I did, WOW, we ate the whole jar and I asked for the recipe.
Lou, my Kentucky friend. You were a great mix of class and sass. I will always think of you and smile every time I use your green bean recipe. You will be dealy missed.
How do you say goodbye? To a life such as her’s? I will never forget how absolutely kind She was. She loved to cook and I remember always being over fed to the point of bursting. She always had time for me and my siblings. She was a spitfire and a lady. She was a force. And she loved my grandpa Wes and my mom with a fierceness that they both needed. She is missed deeply
Thank you, Kerry!
Grandma Louise was a magnificent lady. I may not have been born her grandson, but she was as much a grandmother as I have ever known. She was one of the kindest and funniest people I ever had the privilege of knowing. She was a ball of boundless energy and lit up the room with her wit and banter. The happiness she brought my Grandpa was a blessing for him and I will forever be thankful for the the love she brought to our family.
Thank You, Jeremy
I always thought of Louise as the perfect model for graceful aging. She was strong, sharp, full of energy, positive in spirit, and a delight to be around. She was greatly loved by her friends and family and leaves behind a life well lived.
Thank You, Diann
