Ms. Louque put up with me when I was a snarky teenager that hung out with her daughter. Her home was always welcoming. She made me feel like part of the family. What a wonderful example she was of what a real `family´ should be. I will always remember her as Susan´s mom who taught me to crochet. Over 40 years ago she helped me make this crocheted blanket and ever since, I´ve slept under it when the weather was cold; snuggled under it with my kids and grandkids. It is `my´ blanket, and she is the reason it exists. I will never forget her. She was the very best.
