Louise was my favorite Cousin. She was funny and very kind. She was someone who you didn't have to worry about saying or doing the wrong thing. She was always understanding. And like many others in the family she was "not wrapped tight", that is a huge compliment from me. We miss you Louise. Love Karen

My memories with Louise are some of the best I have. We had such fun raising our kids, sharing holidays, being there for each other during the good and bad times, I will miss her!

I really did not know Louise that much, I'm afraid I was just too little. However, I have heard non-stop stories of what a wonderful person she was. How she really made a difference in my family and those who came in contact with her! I wish I could say more but, I know she will live on in our memories. Love you Louise! Love Mandee
