I was so sorry to come home and listen to my messages on the phone to find out this sad news. I am so sorry that I wasn't home the entire month of Nov. Louise was a funny, joyful lady. A pleasure to be around. We had so much fun with her and Earl. If you went to their house on a Saturday, forget it, she was cooking. She cooked for the whole week on a Saturday. She had more time on a Saturday to cook than to come home after work and cook for all those men. She made sure her family had good food to eat. She was a sweet, sweet lady and a good friend. Condolences from the entire Cavalier Family. So sorry we were not aware of her passing sooner. Love to all of the family. Judy Cavalier.
