Walt - Please know I'm sad to learn of Louise's passing. You undoubtly never knew your pretty young bride taught me how to make a pot of coffee and fry fish hearts. You and Louise were almost newlyweds, living in the apartments behind King's Market. You were both working at Jackson's Cannery and needed someone to take care of baby Ricky. I couldn't have been more than 12 yrs. old at the time and was ever so happy to get the summer job. Louise came home for lunch first and asked me to make sure there was a pot of fresh coffee waiting for you when you can home for lunch. I didn't have a clue as to how to make coffee and your lovely Louise gave me an on the spot lesson...plus, instructions as to how to fry up those fish hearts! I've made a million pot of coffee since that day including some in your Mom's restaurant and many of times thought of Louise while doing so. It's amazing what we learn in our youth and the number of folks who teach us. I've shared this story many times over and had the joy of sharing it with Louise when she attended Edmonds Community College proir to my retiring from there. Louise was such a dear.

Louise, I can't imagine Walt without you by his side . . . I have no doubt that you had a profound impact on everyone who knew you because you just had that way about you. No doubt, you will always be remembered for your gentleness and kindness. I am sure that you are still with Walt and will always be with him. Not even death can prevent you from watching over him!

I had the good fortune to meet Louise early in her career of helping people with their struggle with alcohol. She bettered the lives of many of my clients and their families. I was even luckier to get to better know her, and eat lunch every Thursday with her when she joined the Sno King Exchange Club. She brought the same good heart and warm way to our club's children and education projects.

gramma, you were the best gramma anyone could ever hope for. i cant imagine the "ripple effect" your love and honest care for everyone you came in contact with has made, but im sure its more than i can imagine. You will be missed and remembered always. i feel so blessed to have known you for the wonderful woman you are. I count myself more lucky than most to have had you my whole life. Always~Danielle Crosby

Before taking my present job, I referred scores of clients to Louise for evaluations and help. Many were not eager, but all were grateful. The community is better off, and safer, for the help she willingly gave to so many in need. Please accept my condolences on her passing.

My thoughts and prayers are for all of you. Louise touched my ife deeply through her encouragement and support when I was new to the counseling industry. She taught me to believe that everyone could recover. Her laugh was infectious and I can still still her throw her head back with twinkling eyes. Thanks for sharing her with me! ginnie eburn
