Dear Sandy, Mike and Family,
We are keeping you in our thoughts during this difficult time. Louise was always so kind to keep in touch with my dad, Tom Davis, as well as with me and my family. Her thoughtfulness at Christmas always reminded us that we did have extended family. I will always have a special place in my heart for your mother.
Love, Clark, Inge and Maren Davis
May our Lord’s umbrella of love and comfort be upon all of Louise’s loved ones. May His peace reign supreme in our hearts. God be with you and your loved ones Sandy.
Love,
Dorothy
