Love you Louette. You were a wonderful "second mother" to me, and our hearts connected all those years ago when I was a young girl and you were my home-ec teacher. You were always so supportive and encouraging of me, and Michael too. All the concerts you and Carl went to, and all the laughter we shared. The player organ/piano, holiday parties, the boat rides, the stories, the phone call chats. Just so many beautiful memories over all these years. You were so strong after Carl passed. You will be greatly missed, although I am so happy you are finally out of pain and dancing again at the ball with you beloved husband. Maybe you'll hear me singing You Light Up My Life to you. And if you see my Mom and Dad, please give them a hug for me. An era has ended with all of you gone. May Choirs Of Angles lead you into paradise Louette. With great love always, Maureen and Michael
