We send our most sincere condolence on the passing of Louise. My mother, Ellen Huntley was a long term friend of LaVerne (Femmer) Hawse and I remember Mom speaking of Louise and Horace. I did not personally remember Louise from my childhood but did renew acquaintances with her at a family reunion at the Hollowell’s in Denver a few years back. I enjoyed visiting with her then. Our sympathy goes to all her family and friends.
Incidentally, I was named after Charles Hawse, LaVerne’s husband.
My Brother Don and I grew up at Bethel Methodist and have fond memories of both Horace and Louise. Horace sang in a quartet with our dad, Walter, and all of us sang in the choir.Louise was and is a precious person. Big personality in a tiny frame. Our sincerest sympathies, SWEARINGEN’S
Charlene and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you today. May God bless you as you have been a blessing to her all these years.
Charlene and Family,
