You will be missed my best friend forever we've known each other for years we were roommates at one time and I love you You're now with your father up in heaven My condolences to your family
Some people really make an impact and Luisa was one of them. About 10+ years ago I moved into the same apartment complex as her and her sister and they would see me walking my dogs. Everytime I would see them down in the garden area Luisa would always share encouraging words. Always praising God and being positive no matter what was going on. Up until she passed away she would always comment something kind on my facebook posts. Her positivity really made an impact on my life and I will always remember her kindness. Rest in heaven peacefully Luisa 🙏🙏
