Louise has been greatly missed from the Howard Park Senior Center. Last week I printed out a picture of her and 3 of her friends that I had in my camera. I gave the other ladies a copy of the picture I will print out another one and hang it at the center. I am sorry for your loss it is a great loss to everyone here too.
