So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

One is never prepared for the news of the passing of a friend. From the day I met Louise, we bonded together. I heard many a story of 'beagling trips'. And of course I heard stories told with great pride of her 'boys'. Went with her to the hospital when she learned of JD's admission ... we just locked the library and left. She comforted me when my father died and when my mother died. We kept in touch after she retired, met for lunch, and had many long talks on the phone, and she was always the first arrival at my New Year Day's Open House....we planned that so we could visit. Started her on her Christmas china and admired her milk glass collection..My thoughts and prayers are with her 'boys' and their wives who I know now have a big void in their lives. Louise was well loved by everyone and especially me.
