Message: Dear Bill and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. We just found out about Louise from sister, Roni. We have so many wonderful memories: The Colenade Room, Porterhouse steaks, buy me an egg buddy and on and on. Tanya and I cried together today. She has such good memories of you all. You teased her that her Raggedy Ann dolls name was Ralph. May you find comfort in all your good memories. Our love and prayers, Cousin Carolyn and Dick Post

Message: Bill, Kelli and Dan,
I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to your family. The last few years Louise had written me Christmas letters and I will truley miss them. We didnt make it to the funeral because we were not sure Theresa would be able to travel that length of drive. Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Aunt Theresa, Amaryllis and Lisa.

Message: I wish to extend my Deepest Sympathies to you. Louise's father and my dad were first cousins, so I remember Louise as a young girl and then got to visit with her at New Rockford Nursing home while she was employed there. We had come to visit with Irene Bengston(an Aunt). We hadn't seen Louise in a long time so we were glad to be able to touch base again. May God grant you the comfort and strength to get through the difficult days ahead, but know that others are thinking of you at this time. Take Care
Juanita (Vincent) Jeral

Message: Bill, Kelli & Dan- I am so sorry for your loss and not being able to attend the service, but we will be there in spirit. Louise and I were the La Vern & Shirley of our time. We were soul sisters. We knew when ever either of us were having a problem, We would call and cheer each other up. We had a sixth sense about that. She would do anything she could to help. She was a true friend, they don't come around very often and I will really miss those phone calls we used to have for hours, it was worst when they moved to California. We couldn't call very often because it would take us a month of Sundays to pay it off. We had many good years, we could read each others mind, like soul mates. I know you will miss her but you have to be strong, like she would be, and pray. love you guys
