    I met Louise years ago when we sang together in the Garden Street Methodist Church Choir. She and I were proud members of the “Mighty Alto” section. My husband (who also sang in the choir) and I always loved Louise’s quick wit and great, dry sense of humor. We both feel very fortunate to have known her and have her as a friend! Our deepest sympathy to her family for your loss of this lovely lady.
