"I am going to miss my friend Louise. I will always remember visiting her and laughing with her. She was such a loving friend. She told me she was going to live to be a 100. A woman of her word, indeed! So sorry for the loss to her family. We will ALL miss her. But, we should smile and know she is with God."

"Troy, I know it has been long hard road. You have been caring for your Mom a long time. We will be praying for you and your brothers and sister. As Lutherans we say that she is living her Easter faith. I like to think she is running on perfect legs and laughing at all the beauty there is to see. God Bless you and Keep you, Brad, Angela, and Matthew"
