Ed, Connie, Lisa, Charlie, Chris and Matt,

My heart goes out to you today.

Louise was an extraordinary lady, a wonderful wife and Mother, a loving Grandmother and a very special Aunt. Her life was lived with an over abundance of love for her family. She made us all feel special in the unconditional love that she shared. She was truly a woman of strength, grace and beauty.

Everyone whose life that Louise touched is better off just for knowing her. Those of us who had her love were truly blessed. The warmth of her smile kissed our faces and our hearts.

Today, Jimmy and the angels in heaven are rejoicing in her presence. In as much as Louise will be missed, she is a lady who will never be forgotten. Her warmth and her charm will have a lasting effect on all our lives.

The days ahead will be difficult. Your family and friends will be here to share your loss and your sorrow. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

With all my love,
Becky

Eddie,Connie, Lisa, Charlie & boys,
Our hearts are aching for you today. Louise has always been so special to our family and held such a sweet place in my heart. I will never forget the fun times on vacation and weekends at the lake. What a special neighbor and friend. We love you all and keep you in our prayers as we cherish our memories of such a dear lady. I can hear that fun laugh of hers now.
