“In loving memory of Margaret Louise Forbes, Louise and I shared a special friendship that lasted throughout many years. She (& Maria) were so kind to watch our house and our beloved corgi, Zeus, when we traveled as a family. Louise was there for me when I underwent surgery years ago and even accompanied me to important doctor visits when Lori was away. We enjoyed spending time together at Rotary functions, making all kinds of juices, lunches, and laughing at life and ourselves. I will miss her!”
