Louise was instant family. From the moment Mysti and I met at Ball State, she was like a second mother. I knew if I needed to talk to someone, Louise would listen. I didn't have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with her, but she was truly remarkable.

I know she's waiting for the day when you can all be together again, where there's no sorrow or pain.

To Fred and the Children:

Louise and I worked together at Ivy Tech and were friends. She brought laughter to my heart so many times. I will always remember Louise and my thoughts and prayers will be with her family whom she loved dearly. We realize that God never makes a mistake even though we do not always understand his purpose.
God Bless and keep you and the children under the shadow of his wings where no evil will befall you.

It is no surprise that Aunt Louise wanted everyone to dress in Bright Colors. If Louise were a color, it'd be Bright! She was always one for laughter and fun at family reunions and her "bright colors" were often found in her crafts as well. Prayers and condolences to her children.

Louise & I worked together at Ivy Tech many years ago and I stood up in her wedding when she and Fred were married. I am so very sorry to hear of her passing. She was a great lady with a huge and kind heart!
