To the Grift Family,
Our family was so very shocked and saddened to hear of Louise’s passing. Louise was an angel on earth to our family in so many ways. When Heather (as a teen) suffered an injury, Louise readily came to assistance and transported her to Dr. John Button’s for medical assistance. Louise was a dear friend to Dorothy for many years, driving her to medical appointments, doing errands, and providing companionship by enjoying coffee time with friends and meals out together. She will always hold a special place in our hearts as a wonderful neighbour and friend. We’ll miss you, sweet lady! All our love and sympathy, Dorothy Smith, Heather (Jeff) Brodie, and Brenda (Lyle Garrett).
Ed and Family
