Todd and David, I think of Louann often and the word "spirit" keeps coming to me. She had the strongest spirit and love of life. She was more than a devoted mother and lifelong partner to Nelson. She was part of this community where she was born and where she will always be remembered for many contributions she also made. Terri Robinson

Clyde's of Chevy Chase is sending our sincere condolences to your family. If you were not aware, I made a name plate for your mom to signify her favorite booth a couple of years ago. She will hold a very special place in my heart. There were many times I would go sit with her when she did not have company.
We hope you will still visit so you can sit there and enjoy reminiscing.
With Love,
Clyde's of Chevy Chase Management Team
