To Debbie and Diane and all of your families.....SO MANY memories! From staying in your campers overnight, while your home was finished being built, to her caring for us at your home on Christmas Eve while my parents were in Buffalo for the funeral of my mom's father, to her cooking classes, to her working at the Kopper Korner, in Chautauqua, to her wonderful, beautiful, talented decoupage things she created! To Crossroads where she sold her "Beanie Baby Poles! The days when we were young and she and Nancy Webster and my mom would eat lunch outside, or go to each other's homes for tea/coffee. To her taking us swimming in the Chautauqua Gorge, to bringing me lots of Debbie's wool clothes your dad had shrunk in the dryer! LOL Then, seeing her at school in the Library, or at the YWCA, or she, Nancy and my mom going to some "Weight Loss" place in Dunkirk where they paid to lean on machines that just "jiggled their fat around." I recall having a sleepover with Debbie in your Chautauqua apartment when she and Diane came back from seeing the Alfred Hitchcock movie, "The Birds," and you both talking about how scary it was. She used to do a lot of knitting in her younger years, also. She put me in charge of "Dickins" your cat when you all went to Florida, telling me about how much food and how much PET Milk to give her daily. The last time I saw and talked to her was at the Ox Roast in 2018. We had fun remembering some of the above. I am so sad to know she is gone and I will not see her on my next visit to Westfield or The Ox Roast. She was one of those people that after making her, God simply broke the mold as there will never be another Louise! Please know you will be in my prayers and I am so sorry that I am unable to be there to pay my condolences and sympathies in person, as you were when I lost my mom. I am with you in spirit, though! HUGS to both of you!!!
