Louise's family,
Sorry for your loss. She was my 1st cousin. My memeory of Louise was when I was 7or8 she stayed at our house, in Belvidere when in high school, sometimes when the roads where snowed-in and couldn't get the farm.
Also, my memory to this day, is when she had a needle stuck in her knee and it became infected. As kid it looked real bad.
Memories last along time.

To Louise's family,
I'm sorry for your loss. I used to work with her at McDonald's, we'd call her "Weezy. I also went to school with craig. Its a sad time, but just hold onto those great memories.

Dear Pat, Diane, Tammy, Rex and Dale,

I am sorry for your loss. It was great to read in your mother's obituary that her animals were with her until the end.

Your mother was such an agile little person. I recall her hunkered down over the heat vent in your living room, not sitting, not exactly squatting, but perfectly balanced in some kind of yoga or tai chi stance designed to catch as much warmth as possible.

Your mother had an amazing ability to love small children and animals; I imagine she is in heaven holding a baby and hugging a dog this very instant.

Blessings to you all,
Janet Clark Pickett

In Christ,
