Ted and Louise sat behind us at MU football games for years and we always looked forward to visiting with them on home game days. We missed them when they no longer came to the games. They were both special people and our thoughts and prayers are with their family especially now that Louise has gone to be with Ted. Rest in peace Louise.

I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Louise's death. What a grand lady. I always enjoyed any visit I shared with her. I was on a retreat so unable to attend her services. Know of my prayers for the whole family.

Dear Norwood Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. We moved next door to Ted and Louise in 2000. It is a small world, Louise had taken care of my great grandmother years ago. She spoiled our dog, she would buy sliced cheese just for Annie. We enjoyed getting to know them both through the years.
With Sympathy,
Stacy and Hal
