I met Louise at the Silver Sneaker exercise group. She was a very gentle but friendly person. We always saved a spot for her up front. She is missed.

My deepest condolences to the family. Remember you are not alone at this difficult time. "God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress." (Psalm 46:1) He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7 and Revelation 21:4)
