I learned of your mother's death from my parents, Ed and Joan Rose. I dearly loved Mrs. Montgomery from the time we moved in next door. Occasionally, she and Nancy would baby sit me while my mom worked. I had a blast with them. Nancy let me play with her dolls and she even gave me one of them. I still treasure that doll. After I married and I would come home, I would go next door to visit your mom. I enjoyed seeing her and catching up on each other. I will miss her. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

We send our deepest condolences to the Montgomery Family on the passing of their beloved Louella. Thoughts of her will always bring to mind that wonderful laugh and her gentle strength. She showed such caring and love to both me and my brother Mick while we were growing up that often she was like a second mother. She will always be beautiful Mrs. Montgomery to us. Cris and I are sorry we can't be with you to say goodbye; but know that we feel your loss and send our love your way. In heartfelt sympathy, your friends, Bonnie (Parker) and Cris Crispino
