Ms. Louise was a regular patron at the library in Vilonia and she taught me how to knit there. She was always so patient and loved to talk about her family and listen to me talk about mine. I was very sad to hear of her passing and just want to say how glad I am to have known her.
Aunt Louise was always the brightest lady in the room! Always loved seeing her. Our family is so sad about her passing. Love to all of you!
