I remember the sleepovers we use to have at each others houses, walking to 7-11 during the summer to buy Slurpees or Caspers for a hot dog. She was one of the “tough” girls on our block who stood up to the boys and was right in the middle playing street football and knocking sense into one of them. Louise was a great softball player and I enjoyed playing together as well as against each other. Years later when I would see her she always had the same smile on her face and we talked as if never missing a beat. Rest peacefully my old friend!
