Read a special tribute, “A Salute to Grandma“, written by her grandson, Peter Efthymiadis, May 2010.
We miss you Grandma & think of you often!
Love,
Emmanuel & Sarka Efthymiadis
What a wonderful grandma! I miss her dearly. Her gift to me was instant joy just thinking of her. Alas, she has departed for the eternal realm, a gain for her, a loss for us. I am thankful to God for her life and mission and that through her I am a Kehler descendant. God bless us through her heavenly prayers.
To my loving cousins left behind;
My heart is saddened at this news, although her times here were meaningless with so much suffering, I will always be so greatful for the wonderful love and care she gave us twins and what a special part she played in our daily lives as a member of our family.
Rest in peace with my ever lasting love Don.
Wishing love to my much loved cousins. Wonderful childhood memories at Louises Diner and playing in the store on Sundays. Love Barb
We are still enjoying the lovely china received at the wedding shower, she had a huge hand in planning, over 30 years ago! Still think of her every time we use it!! Condolences to her family and friends!

What an amazing, friendly, positive, encouraging lady! Those were good days when we could come to Louise’s coffee shop!
I didn’t realize she was in St.Adolphe!
Louise, you now have a Mansion in Heaven!
I still haven’t found a better bowl of home made Tomato Soup or a better Cheeseburger for that matter, than Louise could make. It was probably the TLC and the encouragement everytime we’d stop by “Louises Grill”!
Sweet lady…thinking of her family.
What a wonderful woman! I really enjoyed the visits I had with her. It was especially lovely to find her sharing a hospital room with my Grandma. 2 lovely visits in one! I’m glad that she can rest now. Condolences to her family.
