One of my fondest memories was 64 yrs ago.
Grandma´s sister had died in Florida and Aunt Marion, Aunt Louise, Grandma and myself had gone to the funeral. Grandma stayed with family and Lou, Marion and myself stayed at a hotel.
I really got to know my aunts then. We had a good time laughing and talking about fun stuff. I was 16 yrs old and I was so impressed to be with my older aunts. Louise was a lot of fun and I enjoyed my trip with them. I´ll always remember that quality time together.

Happy times stay with you forever! She was a special person .

Love to all,
Jane Hutcheson

Louise was a wonderful lady. She was a perfectionist in everything she did. She was generous and kind to others. She welcomed me when I joined the Moon family and made me feel comfortable. Both she and John were so supportive of my husband, her nephew, Bill Moon. He loved her dearly and enjoyed their late life conversations...always called her Aunt Lou...I’m sure she’s resting in peace now with her heavenly family. My prayers and thoughts to all of her family. Louise was such a pleasure to know.

I was so sad to hear about Louise passing, but what a glorious day that was to be in the presence of the Lord. I become very close to your mom when my dad was home bound for a year. She was so sweet to come and spend time with him and bring him special treats . He looked forward to her visiting. I wish I could be there during this time but we have a lot of health issues and try to stay at home. You’ll be in our thoughts and prayers.
