I believe I knew this family when they lived in Winchester, Virginia in the 1970s. I was friends with her son Jeff. Sorry to hear of her passing.

I just found out that my friend, Louise has passed on. I sure am going to miss her smiling face and wonderful personality. She was always so happy and loved her family and God so much. I know she´s dancing with the Angels right now. Praying for peace for Mr. Clarke and all the children.
