Our dear father Clovis Lewis enjoyed immensely the friendship of Miss Louise often after morning Mass. She was a beloved surrogate grandmother after mom's death. Always a joy filled woman!
Her joy was contagious! It can be no coincidence that God took her home on All Saints Day.....a saintly woman and follower of our Lord herself!
We will miss Louise!
Love!

Mrs. Louise was a sweet friend to us when we lived in Jackson. She let us pick blueberries, played Rummikub with us, had "tea" with my girls, and gave great hugs after Mass. We have so many fond memories and really enjoyed her company. May she now enjoy His Perpetual Light.
