My sister, Louise, was a very special person. She had a heart full of gold and was always wanting to share her kindness with you. We all loved her very much and will miss her dearly.

She and her husband, Ken, just took Julie's heart and she thought she belonged to them. Then your love flowed over to our Crystal and we appreciate you for that.

Love you always Louise.

One of your four sisters,

Your sister, Ellen

I have heard many great things about my great Aunt Louise. She was a great and caring woman who really cared about her family. My deepest regrets go to you. My sympathy goes to the family as well.

Oh how my heart aches. I'll always remember us going shopping on Saturdays in downtown Pensacola. Those were the good old days. Louise, I'll never forget all the clothes and shoes you bought me in my teen years. I sure thought I was hot stuff with all the goodies. You were always so very generous and gracious and I shall never forget what you did for all of us, and this means mama and daddy also. I can still hear daddy calling you Louisa. Also thanks for all the long distance talks we had later on in life.

Louise, I thank you for all of the wonderful memories and for sharing your life with "all" of us. I shall never forget you.

Love you lots sister dear.

Your sister, Emily

I'll never forget those wonderful fresh foods from the Johnson home cooked by Aunt Louise. I remember staying up late at night eating fresh ears of corn on the same kitchen table her son now cherishes in his home. I remember the fruit trees in the back yard, being surrounded by corn fields, and going for rides on the riding lawnmower. I'm so honored to have such great cousins through Aunt Louise. No one will ever outdo her cooking. A day with her included a trip to Witzigs', and those banana creme pies we got from the bakery pit-stop on the way home. You gave us some of the best memories I'll always cherish. I love You and will miss you so very much.

I am so sorry about Aunt Louise. I will always remember the great times I had with her and the family during the summers. She was always so good to me. Aunt Louise made the times I was with her better just by being there. She was and will continue to be a wonderful person and a great aunt. I will always love her.
Love,
Belinda

Wednesday morning and a message on my work phone from Steve. Louise Johnson passed. Not that I always pray when I should, but as soon as I heard this message I prayed for each of the family members. The death of your Mother brought forth a flood of memories. I grew up in the Johnson home. Each visit was met with kindness. Your Mom always offered conversation and good plate of food. She was a very sweet lady.
Love, Jeff
