I met Lou in 1999 when I was in training for M.A. she took me under her wing. Then I worked with her for many years at the Express Care. We were more than coworkers we were friends. My love and prayers to family and friends who are grieving the loss of this great lady. Tell Bob I said hello. Sorry can't make it today I have to work.
