Louise was one of 5 women that made up the group called "Cutie Patooties. 5 Widows that spent 5 years doing so many wonderful thinks. We met at a Grief Support Group and I decided to try something to help myself and 4 other women to get on with life and enjoy it after losing our spouses. I had picked these ladies for their personalities and how friendly and willing they were to try everything. We did many things, starting with hand decorating sweat shirts with "Cutie Patooties" on it in any style we preferred. We did crafts, dinners, picnics, trips etc. We went to Hawaii, Mackinaw Island, Missouri, New York, Florida and many other short trips. We celebrated all holidays with each other etc. Many Winters Louise was in Florida with her family but we would call her and tell her we missed her. We actually made the trip to Florida one Winter and spent a week with her, what a great time we had and always had. God bless her and her family during this sad but grateful time that we got to share her life for a few great years.
