Mrs. Grant was my Girl Scout Leader! I loved having the meetings in her basement! She must have made quite the impression, as I was a leader for ten years and my daughter is a life member! I never knew Moms had first names until there was Mrs. Grant! Very sorry for your loss.

Once Louise told me that she was born on the day that the stock market crashed, I would always think of her every year on the 29th of October. She accomplished a lot in her lifetime and she juggled a teaching career and family with ease, it seemed. Louise was a lovely, intelligent and beautiful woman and I have always had the upmost respect for her. My condolences to the Grant Family.
