Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss. My mom passed 20 years ago and I still miss her. I know you always have your mother's love with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. James and Carol

Ms. Louise will be missed. Thoughts and prayers for you and yours.

Arthur, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I first met your mother at Bishop Gadsden when singing at the pub there. She was the sweetest person to me and the most energetic dancer at happy hours with Nathan. She continued to come to my shows at Gadsden Glen and always had a smile for me and a kind word to say. I will miss her presence and her spirit, but know she lived life to the fullest and will be remembered as a lady who really made a difference in the lives of all she touched.

My condolences to the family of this remarkable women who led a remarkable life of service and devotion.

Thoughts and prayers to a wonderful lady. Peace to all.

Louise was instrumental to my mother, Esther Piskorski, become an advocate for the mentally handicapped both in Charleston in the 1960's and later nationally. Although she passed away about 10 years ago, she always regarded Louie as a great friend and partner in advocacy. Louise's presence will surely be missed by the community she served for so long. I'm glad she had a long life and brought joy and comfort to so many people.
