Her career was second only to her family, friends and church. Louise had the best family and friends who loved her very much as she loved them.

Music was very important to Louise. She was blessed with a true musical talent and loved to play the piano and sing. She especially liked church music but also liked show tunes. Whenever she had time she would fill the room with the sound of angels.
