Aunt Louise and Uncle Bud were wonderful people and I am so glad we were able to know them as well as we did. They will be missed.

I was sorry to learn of Louise's passing. I worked with her and Codene at GTE for a number of years. She was a very wonderful and outgoing lady. She certainly always projected her faith through her interactions with other people. I am sure she will be missed. God bless all of your family and I will keep you in my prayers.
