    Louise was the most beautiful soul. I first met her when she worked the BG games and then when she volunteered at HealthSouth (Encompass Health). To know Louise, was to love Louise, and I truly loved her. She had such a beautiful, welcoming smile. She was the kindest and most loving person you could know. I will miss her dearly. I am a better person because of knowing her, and I cherish my memories of her.
