Fred and Family; Please accept our condolences upon learning of Louise’s death. I had the honor of knowing this family since my youth and spent many summer nights at the ballpark talking to MR Fred and Louise. Then later in life I was able to keep tabs on the family by working with Louise. What a strong and good person she was. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Having known your family from childhood, I have many happy memories at the ballfield and know that you also cherish those times. Louise will always remain in your heart and in your memories. May God’s love provide the peace, comfort and strength needed in the days ahead.
Grandpa Fred, so sorry to hear of this. Makes me so sad. Will be praying for you and the boys. With love Lisa BBQ Inn
