Dear Sharon, Joey, Linda, Robert and Barbara,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your dear Mom Louise. All who write about her on this blog reflect the same emotions, a caring. loving woman who treated everyone wonderfully. I might add that she had the patience of a saint, honed by all us kids and myself specifically.
During the summer, we were around all the time, full of energy and spending uncountable hours playing wiffle ball in the driveway. Though we became very skilled and hitting the ball into the narrow corridor of the driveway, we invariably would hit the house wall of even the window in the corner of the house. And never a cross word from her.
Whether wiffle ball, basketball or the pool, if we ever got a little out of hand, you got the "look" and just a word, maybe two, and that was enough to know we should settle down. And if Louise gave you the look, you deserved it!
It's quite a privilege to have grown up next door to Joe and Louise, as they helped make the neighborhood a great place with their energy and caring for us all. Now they are back together and have left quite a legacy based on values and caring for one another. They knew how well those enduring qualities would serve us in the future.
God bless you Louise, Joe and all the Cookies!
