Oh Aunt Louise I’m going to miss you so much…. Thanks for all the info you gave me for my ancestry tree…. You had a long and loving life…. You can rest now with your family …. and Uncle Al…. Rest with God…..
Many thoughts and prayers to your families in this time. So sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Louise. I always had found memories of Uniontown, even though I was too young to hang with Tommy at the Bar..
What a great lady. Sending prayers and comforting thoughts to the family. My Mom (Ruby) worked with Louise at Ruse’s & The Sun Porch. They shared a wonderful relationship through the years. Even after both stopped working, they would call each other to catch up on their individual lives. Such a blessing to have lived to 100.
With love,
Pam & family
My sympathies and prayers go out to the Hercik family. Take solace that everyone literally loved Louise and Louise knew everyone. I am grateful that I was able to visit her in May.
