My heart is both saddened and warmed with the thought of aunt Louis. A face that was always smiling and arms that were always willing to give a nice warm hug. I got the opportunity to visit with her in her home while visiting my dad, uncle Richard, last year, and as usual she was so excited to see me and hear all about my life and my accomplishments and was very attentive. I remeber her as a little girl growing up when my mom would take me to aunt Joyce's beauty salon to get my hair done and she would be next in the chair. Even then she was excited to hear about my lil ole life while sitting and waiting for aunt Joyce to finish with me. My heart goes out to you, my family at this time understanding that your loss has been great over this past month. I love you all dearly. VV and My mom Evelyn send their condolences and prayers for peace and comfort along with blessings beyond belief.
