Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of her passing, although we never laid eyes on each other I saw her as a very loving and generous soul.

She and I were the only mtDNA matches to each other at Family Tree DNA for years (2005), now there are many but she remains dear to me. We spoke on the phone many times during those first few years.

My condolences to the family, Louise was indeed a gem, a treasure to our world.

Best,

Glory Sullivan Massey

I will miss Louise and her wonderful stories of the family. She was a very special lady. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Louise always made me feel welcome to the Gilg family. I will miss Louise's positive attitude and her smile, especially when she was eating fondue at family parties. I am glad that any suffering is now over. I will think of Louise and will continue to take photos -- as a matter of fact, I took a photo of a beautiful flowering tree the other day. Louise must have sent me a message to take over this role. Your niece, Felicia Gilg
