Luise was an amazingly strong woman who loved her family, friends, laughter, singing, dancing, sewing, cooking, baking, walking, bike riding and her little dog Skippy. The needs of others always came first. She always had a positive attitude and never complained. She always said “money doesn’t matter, as long as you have family and love – that’s all that matters.”
