Bruce and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Louise was one of the finest people I have ever known. I will always treasure the time I spent with her. She was a person I always admired and looked to as a role model – she loved her family and friends with all her heart, she was a faithful Christian woman, and she always kept a good attitude no matter what. The world was truly a better place for having Louise and I consider it an honor and a blessing to have know her. Kathy Seay Brown
Bruce and Janice,I am so sorry to hear about Louise`s death. I didn`t know until I saw it in last week`s Central Virginian, or I would have been at her funeral to extend my condolenses in person. We`ve all grown apart due to time and circumstances, but Louise will be fondly remembered. I used to so enjoy going into Bailey`s Drug Store and see her there. Again, I am truely sorry for your loss.
