For many years Louise was a volunteer for Parish Outreach in Brockton and did many good works in the name of her Catholic faith. I feel privileged to have known Louise and worked alongside her for God, and I know that she is at home with Him now. My condolences to her family in this time of their sorrow.

My condolences go out to the entire Ryan family. I did not know Gary's mother though when Gary and I would talk about something other than busisness, the discussion would often revolve around our families. It was apparent that family was very important.

Deepest sympathies,
Kirk Anderson
