Sending my heartfelt condolences to the Pugh and Edwards family. Mrs. Louise was truly a woman of grace, and her warm smile and joyful spirit reflected God's love wherever she went. In this time of sorrow, may you find comfort in the Lord's promise that He is near to the brokenhearted. Lift your eyes to the hills, for your help comes from the Lord — He will strengthen and carry you through.

We rejoice knowing Mrs. Louise is now resting in the presence of our Heavenly Father, praising His holy name and shining in His eternal glory.
