I just found out about Louise, today January the 6th. We were the people who bought her home, we met her during the process and she changed my life. She was sweet, wise and a beautiful lady. I just loved her from the very beginning, I felt she was like a grandma, she was really happy that we bought the house, because we are a big family and she couldn't have kids by her own That was one of her dream, to have the house full of children.

I offer her a bedroom in case she missed her home, I was expecting her to come home some day, but she never did, I was looking for an excuse to visit her, because for some reason, I felt it was hard on her to maintain our relationship.

I jut wanted to know how was she doing because I knew her health was weak. She didn't gave me her information, so I went to my neighbor that used to now her, and she just told me.

I wanted to showed her the picture we took of her husband and her names on the walls of the kitchen, they where 3 of them, saying David and Louise and a heart in different dates when we removed the wall paper.

I wanted to showed her my new baby, I know how it pleased her to see the house she loved full of kids. She was one of those person that leave a great impression on one. It hurts knowing I just can't talk to her anymore.

I'm so thankful to get to knew, Louise. Because of her, I treasure more this house. I feel I have a legacy to maintain, even though we saw each other a couple of times.

May God give comfort to her family and friends. I will never forget her. I hope I will see her again and give her a hug.

We were Mrs. Russell's dental home and she was a blessing to all of us each time she was here. We all wish all of her family peace as they grieve. I personally will never forget the recipe she shared with me for the very best stuffing during the holidays and am thankful for getting to know her just a little. Peace and prayers, Jennifer Brown, Monica Newton and the rest of the ladies at St. Matthews Dental Care
