'Something Beautiful Remains the tide recedes but leaves seashells in the sand. The sun sets but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops and yet it echoes on in refrain. Something Beautiful Remains'. What remains is the fond memories of you mom. The family would like to thank the staff of Emeritus and Medina Hospice for their care of Louise. Cremation has taken place. Louise's family will place her in Naples Bay Naples Florida with her husbands.
