We use to travel together to reunions....one day I asked if I could copy some of her genealogy....I found out I was her cousin! That was a find for us both...I was not able to attend her funeral because of my medical problems.....Michael or Sherry please contact me wfpodein@bellsouth.net...I would like to talk to you again....Frances Podein

I met Louise when she was 45 years old. She was a strong and determined woman and even cared for her own Mother while working and raising her family. Louise was in the workplace in a time that was not friendly to female workers yet she was tenacious and constant in her career. She worked to support and care for her children, to provide a home for them and to keep them with her and keep them safe. What I like to remember most about Louise was the love she had for her family. Family was everything to her and she was steadfast in her love for them all. My deepest sympathies to her family. I know you will always miss Bubba.

Sorry could not attend today but school was starting and this is the kids first day on and off the bus at 4PM. Thinking and praying for you all this day. Call if you need anything. :)

Ms.  Castleberry,  you will always be my backdoor neighbor.  That will always be your home.  I  look over there when I lockup for the night and send up a little prayer for you,  Hope you and Myra will keep an eye me,  I need all of the angels that I can get.   Beverly Proudfoot (The Grove)

I have so many memories through the years with Aunt Louise and her family. She is the last in that generation and her special quirks and smiles will be so very missed. I know her brothers, my grandmother, her parents and a host of departed relatives and friends were there to greet her on the other side and I envy that moment. My heart goes out to her children and grandchildren, she loved all of you so much...you are her special legacy and I love you all.
                                                                                  
                                                                                          Susan McCullough Dempsey

Sending out love and prayers to the family during this most difficult time. Aunt Louise will be missed.

To my hubby, Danny, and his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I love you all!

You'll always be my other mother and I will never forget all the sacrifices you made for me. I'll love you forever Bubba. Goodbye for now.

I already miss my grandmother more than anyone could possibly imagine. She will live forever in my memories and in the love I have for her in my heart.. Rest In Peace Bubba, you're finally home..

Louise was a very special person to me.
She will always be remembered by me.
Seeing her with her knitted hat and sweaters and yes her cute smile, I was
able to see each day at work. She would look up the Activities Calendar at the nursing home and say to me where's Bingo? she never ever missed her bingo. She would also loved going shopping and out to eat (always wanting a hamburger or steak, she would say I'm a steak & potatoes lady). She enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the weather (even the hot days), feeding the squirrels bread, and just would smile at everyone saying hello as they would enter into the facility. Everyday she looked forward to seeing me and if I was off that day, ask me where have been. When I would tell her I'd be off a few days, she say don't forget to see me when you come back to work. God gave me the blessing of spending time with her the few years she was at Consulate Healthcare.

Keeping in mind the Scriptural hope of everlasting life can help to sustain us during May the family find comfort in the memories. difficult times (John 17:3)

I remember meeting Louise when I began my first office job in 1955 at
Florida Service Corporation, later Billups Eastern Petroleum Corporation
Louise was a wonderful person and helped me in many ways,  sometimes
just being a good friend.  I have thought of her many times over the years,
wondering where she might be.  Today I know she is with our Lord and I
look forward to seeing her soon.    
Mildred (Raines) Johnson
