Louise M Bartlett

My beautiful friend... I will never forget you and will miss you until the day I join you on our next adventure, following the road maps of heaven. Until then, I will listen for the sound of your laughter as I gaze at the beautiful flowers you have given me through the year. And, so, you will be with me and so many others, reminding me with each blossom that opens to the sun. What a gift it has been to spend time together, to know you, to be graced by your splendid mind, and huge heart, to be your friend. Anne

When I think of Louise her family, her garden, she loved to read, and our shared passion for the history of the journey we share comes to mind. Her joy describing Easter Egg hunts was a delight to hear. Our HP brought us together and for that I am grateful. Thank you Louise for sharing your life with me.

Grateful to know how much fun it’s been sharing this amazing adventure of learning, loving and laughing alongside our beautiful Louise for the past quarter of a century. Her pithy insights from her naturally courageous exploration of life and ideas … to the inner freedom she enjoyed that allowed her to break out in song spontaneously … to her infectious laugh ….. to her thoughtful follow through on tiny yet important details …. to her generosity …. Oh sweet Louise the community of saints in heaven have a new and bright member of their chorus. Enjoy and know your time here with us was well spent. Thank you and enjoy heaven!!! To Russ and your beautiful family my deepest and most sincere condolences. God bless you all Luann

I know how much fun it was being you because you told me

I am so thankful to have had Louise in my life! Louise had given me many helpful gardening tips and she shared many beautiful flowers with me. She would laugh and say, "You're not too bad for a rookie," as I attempted to establish different garden beds. Louise told me to use Irish Spring shavings to combat the naughty bunnies who were devouring my bulbs and beans. It worked!! I will miss our "over the fence" conversations and many smiles she gave us. Louise, you are now in the gardens of Heaven and I will keep your wonderful spirit in my heart for eternity. I love the nickname you and Russ gave me....."Mary Contrary". Jenny
