I wanted to offer my condolences to all of you. Louise was very special to me, I enjoyed being her nurse. She was such a sweet little lady with a big personality. I loved it when she laughed. I don’t think I will ever listen to Dean Martin or Tony Bennett without thinking of her. We would play her cd’s for her every day. I wasn’t able to attend her service, I really wish I was able to say goodbye. I want all of you to know how much we cared for her.
Fondly,

I was searching another obit and stumbled on my dear cousin Louise’s entry. Louise was a wonderful person. My Mother was her father’s twin. So many great times to remember! Kindness, zest for life, and a great hairdresser. She was the first person ever to cut my curly tresses. I loved her and remember the last time I saw her at her house in Braintree. My condolence to her children.
