My beloved aunt Louise is with Jesus now……love to my cousins in Virginia during this time.
My most heartfelt sympathy goes to Mrs. Howell’s family. She was a wonderful lady who I enjoyed being around. She was a lady with style, who never let her appearances go even when she grew older. She was always such a positive person….We loved visiting her at the assisted living facility where she lived on several occasions and loved taking pictures of her lovely smile. She was never “down”….always upbeat and you felt better after having visited her because of the special way she always treated people. She seemed to always be in tune with introducing her friends to her neighbors there at the facility. Always verbalized to us how she loved Joseph and Jennifer and their sweet family. She always spoke of them whenever we would go because of our friendship with them. She always remembered Joseph’s friendship with our son, Anthony and his family and always verbalized how thankful she was for their friendship. We will miss her very much when we come to Hampton Roads! We will keep you all in prayer.
My most heartfelt sympathy and prayers to Louise Howell’s family. She was such a beautiful lady inside and out. When I visited my sister, Evelyn, I always visited with Louise at Kings Grant. I loved how she was always dressed so nice with her jewelry, classy clothes, beautiful white hair and always lipstick. She was so friendly and upbeat with a beautiful smile. Louise was so proud of her family and let me know each time I talked with her. I will truly miss seeing and talking with Louise.
Sending prayerful thoughts your way Barbara and family. I have so many fun memories of Aunt Louise while I was growing up. I loved going over to her house and playing with the pinball machines. She was such a beautiful and kind woman full of grace and much love. It brings a smile to my face to know that she is now with Merney having a good laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thinking of the Howell family as they reach the date of the passing of Louise. She was a beautiful women. I still miss talking to her at Kings Grant. Every time I talked with Louise, her beautiful smile made my day. I know that you have had a lot of firsts to get through this past year and that they are never easy. Praying for peace and comfort for the entire family.
