I am so sad to learn of Louise's passing, especially since she was my first "date." My parents never reallly liked giving birthday parties, so when I was in third grade, they said I could take a friend to a take a friend to Radio City Music Hall instead. My first offer to our third grade teacher, Miss Willson, was politely declined, even though I assured her we would be chaperoned by my father,
My second ask, the beautiful Louise accepted. At my father's insistence, I bought her a gardenia corsage at the theater, although I remember his amusement that she was somewhat undecided whether she wanted it or not. My last memory of Louise was when, after graduation from high school, she invited me into her home on Magnolia Aveue. She proceeded to show me her scrapbook where I was surprised to see that corsage carefully pressed in waxpaper.
I regret that we did not keep touch through the years but remember Louise as a beautiful and gentle person. With each passing, we lose another part of our lives,
In fifth grade, I was the new kid at George White School. Louise welcomed me and made me feel at home. For the next three years we were in classes together, Girl Scouts, Friday night roller skating in the gym and middle school dances. We banded together, thriving in much less complicated, carefree times. Four years of high school scattered us with three additional towns, at graduation going separate ways. I was fortunate to reconnect with Louise after a reunion that she attended, catching up by phone, staying connected and visiting her at her condo one afternoon. I will remember her beautiful, brown velvet eyes, her artistic and creative talent in many mediums, and her kind heart! ♥️♥️

I came to PVHS in my junior year. Difficult at best but I remember Sibi(may she rest in peace) being beautiful, helpful and gracious.
My condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed by each of you.
Sincerely and Shalom from Israel
