I was so saddened to hear about Louise’s passing. We didn’t work together for very long, but I have the sweetest memories of her from Stop & Shop. I can still picture Louise carefully slicing fruit and making the prettiest fruit bowls. Whenever I passed her table carrying heavy boxes, she’d smile and remind me to be careful.
I loved looking at pictures of her sweet little dog. She loved him so much. It was also so nice to see her make a cup of tea and sit on the bench outside the deli with Helen during their breaks.
Most of all, I’ll never forget her laugh at Bob’s jokes and the smile on her face when he’d call her “Weezie.” She had such a kind heart and brought warmth to everyone around her. I feel grateful that I had the chance to know and work with her. She will always be remembered fondly.
Rest in peace, Louise.
