Louise, you did what God brought you here for, to teach and make others understand and help them be the best of what they do. I am a living witness, as you call me your son. You taught me work ethic and so many more, You were a tough cookie but I admire your leadership. Thank you forever, I will miss you.

My deepest hearrtfelt condolences and prayers Mr. Joe, Ed and Noel. I worked with Mrs.Louise for almost ten years at Arbors @ Newcastle. Let me tell you, she was one of the best nurses I ever worked with. Very caring and passionate about her job. She loved her family and talked about her husband and children all the time and would have the biggest smile on her face doing so. You were a rare jewel, loved by many and you will truly be missed.
Your girl on the south wing.

You were one of my closest friends. It was truly a pleasure to know you & work with you. You taught me how a real nurse acts professionally & cares for her patients. I will miss exchanging gifts at Christmas time. You will forever remain in my heart.
