I always considered Louise my first "friend" upon moving to this area from the north in 1984. I rented a small house that the McAlisters owned. She was everything I had hoped a true Southern Lady would be. Kind. Thoughtful. Polite. Years later she ended up working at the family business. Once we realized that we had known eachother 20 years prior, Louise produced a "Thank You " card I had written to her all those years ago. Sweet. Sentimental. Caring. That was Louise. Thank you for the impact you made on my life and for giving me such a lovely start to my life here in Greenville. 


Mrs McAlister was one of my precious patients. Her loyalty displayed many times was a blessing to me. My memories of her include a cold, rainy Saturday morning when she weathered the elements to attend a political rally at which I spoke about the dangers of government intrusion into medicine and the importance of freedom and the protection of the patient /physician relationship. She came to support me. Wow!
Her beloved husband was also a patient of mine and I am so glad she is now with her Savior and enjoying the reality of eternal life in heaven.  I Peter 5:10 provides hope and the promise of strength and a settled confidence. This is my prayer for the family of this truly Southern, gracious lady.

From the first time we met,  my respect and admiration for this dear southern lady grew.  I count it a blessing and privilege to have known Louise and to have been touched by her kindness, wisdom, and humor.  A truly great lady and another member of the "greatest generation" who will be missed.

Louise and I graduated at GHS in 1949. She was a wonderful friend and we  met again at Calvary Presbyterian Church in Greenville. My wife,Rebekah and I had many wonderful times together with Bob and Louise  and family. Her devotion to God , country, family, and many friends will always be cherished . Howard has lovingly taken care of his mother during her illness. May Gods blessings be upon the family with his comforting Spirit.                 Tommy
