"For me to live is Christ, to die is gain". As much as Louise loved her family her first love was Jesus Christ and now she is with Him and looking forward to her family joining her in heaven later.

Louise sang "This is my Beloved" in our wedding 46 years ago, 6/17/72. Diane and Louise were good friends from working together at WOL in Schroon Lake, NY in the late 1960’s. We are praying for you as you adjust to letting go of your loved one. Louise surely will be missed.

Dear Jack, Cristi, Joel, Mike, Daniella, and the little ones. Louise was always a bright spot in our lives and she meant more to us than words could express. Her love for her Lord and her faithfulness were her hallmarks, but we could also not forget her delightful sense of humor. What a classy lady. We are thankful to our Lord for having loaned us Louise and grown in our walk because of her living testimony. We will miss her but know she is finally in her eternal home and with her Lord and Savior. We will see her again in God’s perfect time.
