Two things that "Aunt" Louise knew how to do exceptionally well were make the World's Best Pizza & make the person she was talking to feel loved. She radiated good vibes about life. What a lady!

I will miss my Aunt Louise sooo much. Her Fettucini Alfredo was my favorite thing in the world. She always made me feel good and she always got to stay in my room when she came and I have the Betty Boop door marker she gave me.
Love to Linda and all the family. Thomasine

I didn't know Aunt Louise that well. Most of what I remember is from talking to her at Grandma and Grandpa's place. She seemed to love life and had a dream to own her own restuarant. She did that. Not many of us can leave the type of legacy that she has. I know she loved her family. Some times she was a little tough on them, but that was part of her love for them. My deepest condolences to the entire family.
