Louise was my friend, my confidant and my second Mother. She often called me her second daughter. I always felt that both Lee and Louise decided that they were going to be my surrogate parents and set out to do so. They were there for me when my son, Jim, was sick with cancer and again when my husband, Ted, fought his battle with cancer and lost. They were there to meet my then boyfriend, David Hodgson, and give their approval and watch as we were married. We shared so much over the years -- so many memories. I feel truly blessed to have known her and will miss her always, my second Mother, my friend, Louise.
