Aunt Louise has always been a joking and loving person. I know she is with Uncle William, her Mama and Daddy, my Dad Jim, and asorted relatives and animals, especially her cats!!! We will always remember her sweet smile and laughter. I know she especially appreciated all the love and care Colene, Dan and Mary Lee showed her over the last few difficult years.
