We were so saddened to hear of Lou´s passing. She was always so sweet , loving and giving. First met Lou through my brother and as such we all had many great times together. No one could crack crab legs like her! Enjoy them in heaven Lou, at Gods all you can eat buffet! Rest in eternal peace. Nothing will ever hurt you again.

Lou was one of those gals that was more like one of the guy´s(like me!).....extremely personable, kind, funny, thoughtful and all around great person. I met her 39 years ago at the River Shannon, on my first date with my now husband. She´s been a valued friend ever since. You´ll be sooo missed, but we will meet again
