Lou was special in so many ways. Colossians 3:12 is a fitting portrayal of how she lived her life. "Therefore ………. clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience."
She loved her family, friends and pets. Lou was happiest when working in her gardens and flower beds. Everywhere she lived, and to everyone she loved, she brought beauty and offered compassion and understanding.
