I remember Louise being the young mother of an active family in Quincy, Massachusetts back in 1959-60. Charles and John were in elementary school, Coley was an adorable baby in a high chair and Elaine and I were best friends at Quincy High School, active in the youth group at Bethany Church.
To all of Louise's dear family and friends, please accept my heart felt condolences and loving thoughts to all of you in the loss of your beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, family member, precious friend.
May your walk through the valley of the shadow of death be sweetened by the knowledge that she lives anew with her Heavenly Father and her loved ones beyond all tears, and that you'll see hear again one day.
"Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints."
Love and hugs,

Sweet Louise, your smile continues to light our lives.

Louise was such an inspiration to us! She truly embodied love, caring, and thoughtfulness, and was the best friend anyone could ever have. We were blessed by her kindness and by her shining example of what it means to live a wonderful life. Each spring, when flowers bloom from the bulbs she transplanted from her yard to ours, we’ll be reminded of the beauty she brought to everyone she met. Our most sincere condolences go out to her family, whom she loved with all her heart. Please know that dear Louise will never be forgotten.

You will always remain in our hearts. Love you Grandma!

Sundays at St. Mark's will always remind us of Louise. After church she would stop to ask us about our sons, and she loved to talk about her family. Louise was a real sweet heart. We will miss her smiles and hugs.

Growing up on Mohawk Rd. was like being in the country. Louise taught me how to iron a man's shirt after I married. Coleman taught me how to drive when I was at Kecoughtan. I remember her parents farm behind us and riding their white mule bareback. Louise recovered an old feather quilt for my Mother. Louise was always doing helpful things for people and always with a big smile and chuckle. We have been gone from Hampton almost 30 years but I remember everyone on the road where I lived as a child growing up. Heaven will have to keep up with Louise! God Bless her and her family.

What a beautiful person Louise was. I am so proud to have known her and have wonderful visits together. Kyle will always have his fond memories of crabbing and fishing with Sammy at her house. She and Coleman were both such kind people. Rest now Louise, job well done. God bless you.

like a sister and made all of us

She taught me how to look people in the eye and work to understand their

A Better Place
She’s in a better place right now
Than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.
It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.
We know we’ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.
