Aunt Louise was a "lady" in the truest sense of the word. She was kind, gentle and loving. I have special memories of being in her and Uncle Val's home as a child. One special  memory I have is of their Christmas tree and the "town" beneath their tree. In our home growing up, we also had a "town" under the tree. It's a tradition that we carry on to this day in my little family. The delicious homemade ice cream, the screened-in little entertaining house back behind their home, the clever little modern (at the time) space-saving innovations Uncle Val installed in their kitchen, and the attic, where in the early days of their marriage they had dance parties, are only a few of the things that I remember about their home. Most of all, I remember the gracious kindness of both Aunt Louise and Uncle Val. They were truly a blessing in the lives of all that knew them. Aunt Louise, I know, is enjoying a joyous reunion with Uncle Val, her parents, and her other loved ones right now. Nevertheless, we can't help but miss her. My love to you, Aunt Louise.

What a long and amazing life Louise had! She enriched my life in such  wonderful ways. She was my favorite Sunday school teacher at Christ Presbyterian Church; she was present at my wedding; and she came to my baby shower over thirty years ago. She and Val were huge pillars in my family's lives. When Hurricane Carla roared through, my brother, sister, and I stayed with them while my mother worked. Louise kept us busy, playing cards and Tripoly. I loved her for her quiet, reserved manner. Louise and Val have left imprints in my life in so many ways. I will never forget them.
God bless the family that must miss them both so much.

Aunt Louise...I will miss your sweet smile and your kind words!  You are a wonderful lady and i know uncle val is glad to have you with him now.  You will be missed!

She was always a sweet and loved woman. God Bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.
