Dear cousins, I am so sorry to hear of Louie’s passing. It leaves me with so many emotions, her life ended way too soon. I know you are all suffering, especially saying goodbye at this time of year. She was a very good person, pure of heart. Certainly if anyone flies straight to heaven, Lou Ann will. I love you all.

My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your wife, lou ann. She was such a quiet and sweet woman, I am sure you are at a great loss at this time. I also worked at Whirlpool with Lou ann for many years. My heart goes out to you but I know since you go to Grace you believe you will be together again one day. May God heal your broken heart and bring you peace and comfort.
