Aunt Louise was a kindred spirit with her love of animals. Her love for plants, animals and poetry always made me smile. She will be missed. Love Deb Dunn
Louise, my sister...She was instrumental in my "growing-up" years and taught me much about "girlie" things like using make-up, how to dress, and to be a lady (not quite sure I mastered this last one). She encouraged me to be outgoing and try new things. I became interested in square dancing due to her persuasion. She had a great laugh...I can hear it even now. I remember being taught how to clean house...and now I am OCD! That deserves as "thank you" I guess. She supported me though some tough times and I will be forever grateful for that. She was someone who wasn't afraid to state her opinion and I can remember her doing so quite freely with me many, many times. She and I shared an interest in poetry. We both wrote and she was forever encouraging me to publish. I have her last offering and will treasure it always. Being 17 years older than me, she was instantly "another mother" as was my other sister, Dot. I was blessed to have three loving women be a mother to me and teach me what a great responsibility being a woman is. I learned much from each of them. I loved Louise and will miss her being in my life. I am a better person because of her.
