I am so sorry to hear of Louise's passing. She was very kind to my mother Corky. I really enjoyed playing bingo with her. She gave me a little yellow ceramic chick. It is on my desk and I will treasure it always. I have added a picture of Louise and I taken around the middle of May. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed her.

Jean, Nancy & Anne,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you right now. Aunt Louise was the "glue" for the Berry family, and she was so loved. She always had a cheery outlook, and I loved her bubbly laugh. She would send the neatest cards to my Mom (Dorothy Berry) and call her occasionally. She was truly a beautiful person and she was always open in sharing her love for Christ. What a legacy!

We just read about your mom's passing today. Have many fond memories of Louise at vacation Bible school many years ago. Also, Jim always helping with the Sunrise Service at the lake. We have many fond memories of them both.

Louise treated everyone she met with greatness and respect. The light of the lord shined through her with abundance. She never failed to ask about the other person and their family first. I am certain heaven is rejoicing at her arrival. Much love from the Shoemaker family to Louise's family today and always.

I have had the pleasure of working with Helen's daughter Anne Phelan for many years and if the character, kindness and generosity of spirit that Anne demonstrates every moment in each day is any indication, the world has lost a truly remarkable woman,
My deepest sympathy to the entire family on Mrs. Armold's passing.
