Recollections & Sympathy For the Family Post Comment

So sorry for your loss. I always looked for Louise when I visited the Commons while Jim was there and after he passed. So interested in reading her background. I saw the TV show about the town that was buried and found it fascinating. What a nice area for her final resting place. Sincere sympathy for all your family Tom and Kathy.

When my husband was at the Commons in 2012 Louise resided just across the hall. She often was sitting outside the door and greeted me every time I visited. Assisted her to the cafeteria a number of times when she was having difficulty getting the wheel chair to move. A lovely friend lady who I thought about the last few years since my husband's death.
