Sister Louise had the heart of a servant and served none more passionately than her Lord and savior Jesus Christ. A warrior for the Lord she proclaimed the gospel daily and told everyone she encountered about the love of God and precious gift of salvation Jesus provided on the cross for us. He went away to prepare a glorious place Lou was excited to get home to and now finally resides. She invites all to receive that gift of salvation and join her one sweet day.
