That's her such a beautiful memory (photo) and loving soul of "cuttin" Louise. "Lou" as I know her was a beautiful soul; my heart, mind, body and soul had the blessings to share with her while on AU campus and elsewhere will not go unwavered. Beautiful smile and an affectionate giggle you'd never forget. Family be encouraged and know that she's comfortably at peace in The Arms of Abraham. Truth be told, she's called because of the great love she was gifted with by the Grace of God. Rest in Paradise sweet "Lou"
