I am so sorry for the family ‘s loss of this wonderful woman. She always made me feel at home when I was a kid.
My thoughts and prayers are with Mike, Susie, their families, and Louise’s extended family and friends. Louise was a good friend and neighbor for so many years, and I know how much she was loved and will be missed by many. May God bless each of you through this difficult time, as you learn a new life’s routine without her here to share in it. Sending hugs of comfort, along with my prayers.

Dear Susie, I am so sorry for you lost. I truly fell in love with your mother as if she was my grandmother. My heart went heavy and I cried like a baby when I got the news as I returned back to work. She will forever be in my heart. My God bless y’all with peace. – Kristi Woodruff

When we feel all along, & death takes our loved ones. We are heart sick, & the pain is so hard to bear. Talk to God in prayer, use name Jehovah & speak from your heart. (Ps. 62 8) Jehovah wants you to know him as a friend. (Isa. 556) He promises no more sickness, & no more death. (Rev.213, 4)
