Praying for God’s peace and comfort to Louise’s family…Louise was always helping someone…..she never backed down from any cause she belived in….I admired her strength and she would be the first to say her strength came from The Lord. She was one of those friends that you may see once in six months but when you did…it would be like you had just talked yesterday…she was a remarkable woman….she like to fight for the underdog. I considered her my friend…and will miss her sage advice when you needed a friend….
