Dear Emmie and Norm: Please accept all my sympathies and condolences on Louise’s passing. What a tremendous wife and mother she was, so energetic and so sweet and caring. You must be so very proud of all that she was able to accomplish with her life. May God bless and keep you now and always. Chaplain Brad Stetson

I’ll always fondly remember your mom and my mom (Marcelle Bailey) doing their daily wave to each other outside…from bench to garden…what gals they both were. My sincere condolences.
