"Mom, Missing our daily phone conversations, your wisdom, your laughter, your gift of comfort when it seems like everything is crumbling....It has only been a little over 6 months since you went home but to me it seems like an eternity! So much has happened in my life, and in the lives of your grandaughters.....I wish I could just pick up the phone and talk to you like before......Dad is lonely and I call him everyday, just like our talks...I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!! "Son Number Two"
" I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as the comfort found in God's word the bible. Romans 5:12 says, "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." How loving of God to promise what is found at Revelation 21:4 which says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." "
"My dearest friend, how I miss you. Always those sparkling eyes and big smile. You have been such a huge part of my life for so long. But I know you are with God and the angels now. "
"My dear Aunt Louise was selfless. She shared her heart her knowledge and generosity always. Her laughter was contagious. We are all so very blessed to have had her in our lives. Prayers for comfort to Uncle George, Aimee, Shawn, and Duane. May the sunlight of her spirit be with you."
"I will always think of my Aunt Louise as a loving aunt, mother, sister and daughter. She had such a love of life and a gusto that was contagious.
I have my first memories of her with her beloved little doggies saying their bedtimes prayers. I always wanted a little dog that prayed after seeing that amazing feat. I also remember my first fear of gators started when I overheard her telling my mom about gators being in their yard and that they were always having to watch out or the gators would eat the same little super praying pups. To this day I don't like gators!
Aunt Louise was an esteem builder. When she was collecting her stories about our grandma and grandpop she responded to my written memories and her kind words of praise really raised my self esteem. I have always been a bit self conscious about my lack of formal education but her praise made me feel good about myself. She was one of a kind and cut from the very best cloth, that being my Grandma Priddy.
Aunt Louise was generous with her love and I always felt her love for me. She came up to Maryland for Kevin and my wedding regardless of how she felt physically. I know there were a few days when she could barely get out of bed but on our special day you would never know she wasn't feeling 100%. She was all smiles and so glowing with that beauty that shines out from the inside. That is how I will always remember her.
I hate that she has gone ahead of us to be with our loved ones already in heaven but I am happy she isn't suffering anymore. Also I'm glad she is with Grandma getting our rooms ready for us. That is going to be one really clean place with those two ladies together! "
"What a full life Aunt Louise led! Always remember her as a fun and happy aunt! She always enjoyed learning and sharing something new, getting lost in a good book, and exploring various travel destinations. The Priddy genealogy project really energized her and all her hard work and dedication yielded a beautiful and much cherished gift. We are very sorry that we can not be with you during this difficult time but we will keep you all close at heart and in our prayers. Theresa, Kevin, Spencer, and Kate "
"My Sister Louise was a very Special Child of God, a true believer and we know that she is Now with Jesus. There are many things we remember about her. Her positive look on life, her smile, & her love for her husband George and her family.
My sister spent many hours researching the Priddy Family so those who came before us would not be forgotten. I remember the Day we were in the Hanover Court House and she burst out Laughing when she's found out info on a court case list as Priddy vs Priddy.
A trip George & Louise made to Dollywood , TN. with Betty and me was such a special time as we enjoyed the Gospel Programs and the testimonies of the singers of how Jesus changed their lives.
I spent many hours praying with my sister and this is something that I will miss, She is now praying for all of us in heaven. She was a gentle lady and a great sister. We will miss her but I know she would want all of us to live life to the fullest and am looking forward to meeting up with her again one day with Jesus."

"Your Brother Bob & Trudy Oct 17 2013 You went Home "Sis"... to be with our Lord in Heaven where everyone - everwear, even There are still being made happy with your presence and ever giving Love & Compassion. Tuesday morning, hours after Your passing, Trudy and I spent an hour of Prayer & Adoration at our church here in Solomons Island to be with You & Jesus. Me being one year younger than you, brought many flash-backs of how much you helped or pushed me through school (that was one of your greatest gifts) and life it's self. You were the perfect Sister with the greatest heart & bigest smile. Our last short visit to Florida to be with you & George only 7 months ago, were the most beautiful memories ever, as we said our final Good-by. Sure this will be expressed many times over Saturday at your Memorial Service. It has to be... because It's about Louise Priddy Gott. Sorry we can't be there in person, however our Spirit is with You, George & Family Forever ! ! ! May God comfort all of us... Trudy & Bob"
"My husband and I met Louise in South Lake Tahoe at her daughter Aimee's Wedding along with the whole family she was the lite of Aimee's life and will truly be missed. We always heard funny stories from Aimes about her Mom. She was a whirlwind . Its funny I would be thinking about Aimee so I would give her a call and it seemed when I did touch base with her it was always when she happened to be thousands of miles away on her yearly trip to Florida, and she would tell me what her Mom was up to, the last time she was in the garage cleaning it out and going through all the Christmas stuff IT WAS JULY, Aimee said she would never sit still . Louise we will always be there for your Aimee We only met you once but it seems like we new you forever Forever in our Hearts Ron & Barbie Rossi"
"At the age of 20 I found myself fighting for my life; after going through two major operations and being out of work for almost 6 months my money situation had got to the point where I started to wonder how I was going to even buy Christmas presents that year. I never let anyone know about my troubles, but inside I was really hurting. Aunt Louise was up visiting my grandmother and she had asked me to go to the store with them. Not really sure why I went...cause I had no money, but I always did treasure the time I spent with her so I agreed to go. Well to make a long store short Aunt Louise gave me some money and I was able to buy some presents. She gave even though I never asked and God used her to help meet my need. Then once my final surgery was done she paid for my airfare to come and stay with her and Uncle George while I recovered. The time I spent with them was so special and I loved every minute of it. I could spend hours talking with the both of them. I will miss her so much. She was such a blessing to everyone she came in contact with. Aunt Louise you will always be on mind and in my heart. I am truly blessed to have know you and you are certainly one of a kind. I know your with Jesus now and no longer in pain, so even though it pains me to say farewell I know you are in a better place now. As it says in Revelation 21:4 - He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever." Uncle George, Shawn, Aimee, and Duane, you are in my prayers nightly and may god comfort you during this time. I love you all and please let me know if you need anything. Jimmy"
"I have fond memories of my many summers spent with Aunt Louise and Uncle George. I remember traveling to Baltimore to spend the summer and all the fun we had. Later, after they moved to Florida, I would stay with Grandma and Grandpa Priddy at Solomons, Md. and George and Louise would pick me up and we would travel to Georgia to see Aunt Corrine and family. then on to sun and fun in Florida. Louise always had a smile and hug and I would look forward to my visits each year. I know she is at peace and God and family have welcomed her home. Till we meet again, Aunt Louise, I love you so very much. God bless George and family, may your memories keep her forever in your hearts, I know she will always be in mine. Heaven has certainly received an angel this day. Much love to all. Peg"
"Shawn, please accept our deepest sympathies and our heart-felt love during this time of loss and grief. May the Lord grant comfort and peace as you fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. Even though we don't know the rest of your family, please extend our condolences and love to them as well. Be blessed dear friend. Love & Prayers, Dale & Donna McCaulley"
