Louise was a kind, fully alert and well spoken 90 year old neighbor, sister in the Lord, friend, and she is already missed. Yet, I do rejoice in her heavenly home going. See you later Louise!
I just saw this notice of Louise’s reuniting with John “JJ” Jordan and other loved ones in Heaven and found myself uttering a heartfelt sigh of relief. After ninety years, “together again” were the two words that came readily to mind. May every loved one still here on earth, find solace in the joy that is happening in Heaven!
