Have very fond memories of Louise when we were in high school and she worked part time at my family´s pastry shop. We had so much fun together. She was always laughing and ready for fun. She had a good soul and am sure her family will miss her. I send my deepest sympathy. Ann Marie Brennan

My sincere condolences to the family of lovely Louise. We were good friends at Hamilton School as very young girls. Years later we met again, as we were having our families. She was ever sweet and fun, too. I look forward to reconnecting in Glory one wonderful day.
