My sincere sympathy goes to all of Louise's children. I had tried calling Louise last week and got a message that the line was disconnected. I was planning on going by the house next week and then saw the Obituary this morning. I always thought so much of your Mom. She was such a sweet lady and I have many memories of how kind she was.
