We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Louise. She truly was one of our favorite people--always constant, patient, true to her word. Many was the time that Bill would go to her house to visit and she would send him home with a mess of greens, other vegetables, homemade things and more than that, a full heart. She could have had her own pintrest blog. We all loved her so much and will miss her greatly.
