I hope you will find comfort in your memories of her. Your family will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was unable to attend the funeral but I am thinking of Louise right now. I worked with her at Presbyterian and she always made me laugh. She and I always tried to solve all the world’s problems when we went to lunch. She was a great lady and I will miss her.
