Will sure miss you aunt Lou!! Love and prayers to all the family
There are lots of great memories of Momma Louise for me. She was one of the luckiest people I have ever known with games. It didn’t matter what the game might be, she was a winner more times then not. She sowed me clothes in the summer time and even a really nice dress once for a school program. And Oh how she did love babies, all children she had a heart for… and her laugh was contagious! I will miss you sweet Louise and never forget the times I got to spend with you. My childhood was better because you were in it. Love, Montalu
Sweet, sweet lady!
