Louise was a special friend, both while we were living in Salem, and after our move to SC. Her Christmas card was always the first to arrive, and it always had a long note about happenings with her friends, family, and her beloved town of Salem. She will be missed...

Gary Debbie Linda June and the chappell family. I am sorry for ur loss. Weezie was a special lady. And a person who could talk for hours. But also the most friendly person u could ever meet. I always thought the world of her. I knew her for 30 yrs. And then got to see her smiling face at the mailbox. When I delivered the mail. It is sad to pull up to the mailbox now. Sorry Weezie I never got back to do ur kitchen floor. We love and will miss you. Give Herbie a hug for me. Dancing in heaven. RIP

Oh Louise I do so miss the days that you would stop in at Dr. Lacerte's office and I would say "Here comes trouble" You would make your way down the plaza saying hello to everyone and stopping for your daily chat. You will be missed.
