Louise Ryder Ackerman

Louise was my neighbor and dear friend. She achieved so many accomplishments in her lifetime. She was always there if I needed anything. I will cherish all my wonderful memories of her. She loved the ladies in The Tribute. You all made her last days happy ones. She is gone way too soon - I will miss her dearly!

Louise was a dear friend to many of us who lived in her neighborhood in Texas. I treasure all of my memories of the times our group walked together, went to movies, or socialized by the neighborhood pool. I loved every single moment I spent in her company. It was a privilege to be in her circle, even if it was for too short a time.

Barbara and my heart go out to all of you.

I don´t think I have ever known anyone with as little pretense as Louise. I´m shocked and saddened to hear of her passing and will treasure the beautiful art glass pieces she gave me after taking glass mosaic classes in St. Louis. May she rest in peace.
