I shall never forget my wonderful experiences with Louise. Often I think about her and her kindness to me. I remember when she came to my hometown to comfort me when my mother passed. A great woman, a great advocate for the people and a true patriot to the American cause.

I shall always remember the precious hours that I spent with Louise. Her warmth, generosity, sincerity and humor could not be matched. My best friend Bobby McNulty and I were devoted and although I am many miles away, I am with all of you that loved and respected her.

I met Louise many years ago when she acted as my attorney, subsequently we became friends, and occasionally had lunch together. I found her to be a highly intelligent, kind and gentle person. She was a lady in every sense. Every time I drove by her home on Day Boulevard I thought about the last time I saw her and her large dogs, which were very protective of her, and always scared me to death. Louise had a great sense of humor. I asked her once why she was called Louise, when her name was Anna Louise. She replied that she was named after her mother, Anna Louise, who was the reigning beauty in South Boston when she married her father. She said that it became obvious as she grew older that she would never be like her mother, and her father encouraged her to use the gifts God gave her, her strong mind and character. She laughed after telling me that, and said that was why she was called Louise. She said she was her father's daughter.
