Were it not for Louise and her kind and knowledgeable words in 1991,I would not be writing this little passage,I owe my life to her as she was my counsel early in my journey in sobriety.I love her dearly and will miss her.But I know she is at the big meeting in the sky and is looking at all of us through those kind eyes and sending us blessings as we are sending her and God thanks for her time with us.She will be remembered with kind and grateful thoughts,from now on,by many.
of your dear mother. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

My love and prayers go out to you during this time of loss. Louise will forever be in my heart. I will miss her and the many wonderful times I was honored to have with her. She was a great spiritual advisor, mentor, and friend. Although we were not ready to be without her, I have to remember her last words to me were "Gods will not mine be done".
