She enjoyed sharing stories of her youth when asked and could also engage in relevant conversations about current world issues. Louise was described as an attentive listener who would provide appropriate advice. Louise had a gift of being able to relate to all ages. She was as relevant to her great grands as she was to her contemporaries. Louise was always interested in learning new things such as video chatting on cell phones.
