I lived next door to Louise for about 18 years. She was always baking my kids cookies and cakes. She was such a thoughtful and wonderful person!

Louise was a sweetheart! I will miss her funny sense of humor, and sweet laugh! I spent many a night during High School at her home with Donna and Louise never let you feel less than part of the family! Rest In Peace, sweet Louise :)

John and Louise were a big part of my childhood, even here in South Dakota. I remember the many times they came to South Dakota hunting and the many memories that were made with each visit! John and Louise are greatly missed not only in my life but the lives of many!
