We are so sorry to hear of your loss! We go way back to New Haven Missionary and absolutely loved Lou! She was such a beautiful, loving, christian woman with a voice that would make your spine tingle. May you be surrounded with God's love and experience His comforting presence and peace in the days ahead.

Having not seen or heard of her in these past 50 years does not lessen the pain of hearing of the passing of this lovely person.
