We lived up the street from Louise for 2 or 3 years before she moved. She was always such a kind person, with a smile at all times. She was inspiration, to see her kindness and how hard she still worked into her 90s, knocking out gardening. I can remember her sense of humor, having a good laugh once when I needed to help her up after a gardening session. My boys still talk about how we went in her living room for Halloween and told jokes for candy. She is missed. My condolences on your loss and may you celebrate her in the coming days.
Such a beautiful person
Such a lovely lady. Always a pleasure. She had a great sense of humor and I admired her tenacity. She will be missed by many. I will keep Louise and her family in my prayers.
Thank you Baci. Thank you for the time you took to make this video. I love you and will always remember your phone number.
Tommy
We have fond memories of Louise. She was kind and generous, loved her family and loved having fun. Our deepest condolences to all her family.
Aunt Louise,
You have always been a Remarkable Individual. You have always been very Important to me.
You have always accepted people as they are, & Love them unconditionally.
I’m sure that there’s a HUGE PARTY Going on in Heaven right now.
Know that You’re Loved a Ton, and I Will Miss You Very much.
I met her briefly but didn’t know her but, I still feel an emotional connection to her as I watch a video Bridget shared. I can see the legacy she left in the smile on Bridget’s face and the twinkle in her eyes when she talks about her. It doesn’t take long to know that she was a remarkable woman and this earth will be less without her on it. My condolences and deepest sympathy to her family and friends as they go on without her. Remember her stories, her words of wisdom and live in her light as she shines down on us all. Rest In Peace sweet lady and thank you for making a difference in this world. Love and hugs.
Rest in Peace, Mrs G. You brightened up us all so many years ago.
Louise was an amazing woman. Rest in peace. God bless her and her family.
