I am sorry for your loss. I am very glad she had a long life filled with family. I met Louise & Homer after Mary Mc Culloch/Snellenberg passed away in 1990 and we exchanged Christmas cards--this year my card came back and then I found out she passed. Your memories will make you smile. Fondly,Karen Baker

Heartfelt sympathies. Cousin Louise was such a wonderful, sweet, caring, and giving person. She was so teriffic to all her family, both near and extended. I still remember trips to her house (and yard) as a kid and young man with Mom and Dad (Wanda and Van) when all the family were invited for a happy get together. Her family
and everyone who knew her has been blessed by her warmth and caring.
