Louise and I were friends. She lived next door to me since I moved in in 1985. Her and Mel showed me how to trim my umbrella tree. We olayed shuffe board, Louise and I were partners and the other team would talk stuff to us. She baked muffins when we would snow blow her walk. She will be in my heart forever, and I miss her very much, she was a dear dear woman.
