Celebration of Louise's Life
A celebration of Louise's life was held at 2 p.m. Saturday May 8th, at Millville Friends Meeting House, Millville, PA. A slide show of photos of Louise played to a soundtrack of music she liked. Many wonderful stories were shared and a large selection of the quilts she made were on display at the Meeting House. The combination of tears and laughter made me feel a little better, but I (Denis), and likely the whole family, will have a lot more healing to do before we can get our arms around life without Louise.
