Prayers and condolences to the family , friends and loved ones. May God be with you all in this time of loss.
She was a wonderful friend, wife and mother. It was a privilege to have know her. The thing I remember about her was when we was building a porch and I had her husband Tim getting upset. I remember her laughing so much. An her going in an out and when she thought something was wrong she would tell them. Rest In Peace wonderful lady you will be sadly missed. No one could replace you ❤️❤️😢😢
Miss Louise you were a kind, gentle and caring person here on earth to Michele and me. You were a good friend and neighbor to us here on earth. When we were ill in body or spirit you gave us nourishment, be it food or prayer or both.
Miss Louise you will be missed in many ways; we will miss seeing you tend your flowers and knowing it is spring, we will miss seeing your mail box flag change with the seasons, I will miss thinking it is time to cut my grass and telling Tim, ”tell Miss Louise I am going to cut my grass because I don’t want her thinking bad of me”.
Miss Louise, I know you are in a better place, one of joy and grace but you will be missed here on earth. We love you.
Prayers for your family. She was a beautiful woman. I never had the pleasure of meeting her but have heard so many Great things about her through Missy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Until you meet again ❤️
Tim, we grew up in our teen years more like brothers than cousins. We have been separated by many miles and many years, but our hearts are still entwined. The more you love someone, the more devastating is their loss to you, so I only know you could not be suffering any more from her loss, because I know the great love you two shared. Strength comes from God, may he bless you and keep you during this time.
Writing this comment is so hard because we never want this day to come; we never want to loose someone we care so much about. Loosing Louise is a loss to all of us. I had so much fun working with her at GTE/Verizon. She was a great person and a great friend. I will always remember the great memories and she will be dearly missed. Tim, my heart goes out to you and your family and you will diffently be in my prayers. May God comfort you and give you strength for the days ahead.
I am so sorry Tim, Timmy, and family. The kindness and care she extended to me and my family will never be forgotten. She’s truly a beautiful person inside and out. Much love and many prayers.
Louise a wonderful part of a package deal who will always be lovingly appreciated and missed is moved on now to the next realm. Louise was the type to say what you meant and mean what she said and I have it on good authority that God likes that. Louise was a kind soul as I recall one day years ago when Tim brought a stray coworker home that was separated from his wife and kids by several states about Christmas in 1987 and instead of being upset when she found the freezer empty because Tim had fed all of the multiple TV dinners to his new friend Louise smiled and said they would just buy more. A few days later Tim brought the same guy home again and Tim handed me the phone telling me to call my family long distance was fine but what I will always remember was it was Louise who gave Tim the phone nodding for him to hand me.
I am so sorry Kitts for the loss of your mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dad! She sounded like a sweet woman from the stories I have heard. Hugs to you both!
my prayers for tim an tim jr may god lay his arm around yalls shoulders
Prayers and hugs to you and your Dad my friend. I have no words just sending love ❤️
Tim, I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Louise is such a special person and will be missed in so many different ways. The legacy she leaves behind is a testimony to the wonderful person she was. Her passing leaves a void that time will have to heal. You and your family are in my thoughts and.prayers
Oh my sweet Aunt Louise, you will be dearly missed! I can hear your laugh as if you are right beside me! I pray the Lord will comfort Uncle Tim and your children in their time of need!
Was so sorry to hear about Louise passing. Have wonderful memories of Louise, Jerri and Patty from high school. Prayers for her family during this difficult time.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, my precious wife. We shared many good times, travels, and special places together. I am trying to adjust to life without you, but, my heart is broken, and at every turn and touch, I see and feel your presence. I was blessed to have had you for 49+ years, and know I will get to see you again someday. I tell you “I Love You Sweetpea” every night I go to bed. I even find myself talking to you as if you are right beside me. I will continue to live my life as I know you would want me to. Until that wonderful day I see you again, know that I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS & FOREVER!
Your Loving Husband,
Tim

I had been calling her number but no response. We talked often. I miss the conversations we had. Tim I am so sorry and sad to hear about her passing. I wish I could call and physically talk to her now. We worked in the same department and retired from the same department. Tim my number is (919) 260-2300 if you need to talk to someone. My condolences.
We are saddened by your loss. Mrs. Kitts was very special to our family. She treated my kids as if shebhad known them since birth. She treated them like grandchildren and would always make then feel special with her gifts for the holidays. My daughters miss her and loved her kindness. They would always have to go over and see Mr. And Mrs. Kitts before trick or treating. They adored her sweet nature. She will be missed in the neighborhood.
Our hearts are saddened by the passing of our neighbor of 25 years. Mrs. Kitts was always friendly, and we admired the way she kept her beautiful flowers, yard, and garden. Her attention to detail showed her obvious love for nature and the Kitts were often seen tag-teaming the upkeep of their home and enjoying relaxing moments on the deck afterwards. Mrs. Kitts had a generous heart – often sharing watermelon from their garden or bringing apples from their mountain trip to share. We will miss her sweet spirt and will never forget the times it brought light and love to our day.
I had the privilege of working with Louise. She was a wonderful kind friend. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Louise was my dear friend she was a caring and loving person. We had worked together and had some good times!! She will be missed. I know Tim will be lost without her! Rest in peace my dear friend.
It’s been 111 days since you left Dear Wife & Mother. It still is like it was just yesterday that you left. I have placed an illuminated crystal cross on the hallowed ground where you fell. I still can hear your voice and sometimes your cute laugh. I miss you so my dear Clara Louise…life is so very different without you. I remember all of the good times we had together…even the funny moments we shared. I will always cherish your memory. They sustain me in the days ahead…though lonely and longing to see and kiss you just one more time…I will always be your Tim…
