Louise Marie Hellings

Dear Ross and family, I am so very sorry to learn of Louise passing. Being around her was always such a joy, as she was always very giving of her time to help others. Louise will be missed by very many friends. Praying God will give you and family strength to continue on.

Ross, we are deeply saddened to hear of Louise’s passing. We’re so sorry. We have fond memories of you both back in the neighborhood Sending prayers to you and your family.

My sincere condolences.

My Dear Ross. I was so sorry to hear about Louise's passing. I know your wonderful memories will help you through your grief. There definitely is another angel in heaven and another star in the sky. Sending you a warm hug because I cannot be with you on Saturday. Yvonne

What were the chances of sitting next to a couple in a restaurant in a far away paradise and know that you will know them forever. So happy that I've had at least 20 years with my girl Lou - some of my best memories come from times spent with Louise and Ross. I'm going to raise a glass and thank God for bringing her and her family and friends into my life!

My sincere condolences on Louise's passing. I loved meeting her at the boy's graduation and chatting for hours on the beach. She radiated warmth and kindness and enveloped my son with the kindness and caring she showed her own grandchildren. I am sure her spirit lives on and trust that the warmth she emanated remains in the thoughts of her loved ones. Kim Uva.

May you Rest In Peace sweet Louise! You will be missed dearly. Not sure I can get used to saying just Ross, you were always Ross and Louise..

Louise was a force to be reckon with. I was her neighbor and friend in Bay City. We hit it off immediately. When I met her I felt like I’ve known her my whole life. I am so sad to hear of her passing. Sending prayers to Ross and the rest of her family. There is a bright shining star in the sky.

Forever in our hearts and souls. Our memories will last forever. Miss you girlfriend.

Louise will be sorely missed by her neighbors. She was one of a kind. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ross and Danielle and the rest of the family. May you find comfort.

RIP Louise, miss you so much! I will never forget the time I was walking to the boat with clothes on hangers and you saw me and said “where do you think your going” with that contagious laugh you had.

So sad to hear

I have known Louise and Ross for 6 years. I am their next door neighbor on the Bay in Kent Island. Louise was my sister and Ross is my brother. Danielle, Guy and Devon are friends. We have all shared many joyous holidays and weekends together. I love them all very much and they know that. The loss of Louise has been very hard on me, our other neighbors, my family and friends whom she all knew and all knew her. My children were very sad to learn of her passing. I often say that I pick my friends on whether they would run on me in a street fight. Louise would never desert a friend. Louise was one of the strongest people I have ever known. She was a “momma bear” and would do anything to protect those of us in her orbit. Louise was also one of the most caring and giving people I have ever known. Three years ago, she saw me in a deep funk, grabbed me and Ross and said we are going for a boat ride to cheer me up. She did that without blinking. Another time, my granddaughter, Noa, asked about the boat and the next thing you know, Louise has my entire family of 8 on the boat for a sunset cruise. Noa still talks about that ride. She didn’t have to do that but she did it without blinking and always had a smile for my family and friends. Thank you my sister. I cannot tell you how many meals we have shared where she ropes in the entire block and we are all breaking bread, drinking wine and laughing. It will be hard without her directing us. To say that Louise was opinionated is an understatement. We didn’t agree on anything political and had to agree to only talk public policies and not political personalities. Ironically, we found agreement frequently on policy matters. My own children didn’t understand how we could all be so close yet differ so much. I would say “Louise and Ross are my sister and brother in Christ. We all love the Lord and we love our country. We just disagree.” The Theologian John Wesley was asked how there could be so many different expressions of the Christian faith. He responded that “if you love Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, give me your hand.” Louise gave me her hand. No one loved the Lord or their country more than Louise. Louise, I am glad God healed you and that you are no longer in pain. Please know that we are all here for Ross, Dannielle and Devon. We love you and we will miss you. Enjoy your time with Our Father and please put in a good word for the rest of us. :) Love, Robert

So sorry for your loss.

i really loved talking to Louise at our meetings and even if you did not see her for a while, she always had stories to tell you and i just loved that smile. Going to really miss her.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to the family!

Dear Louise,things are not going to be quite the same without you. You were a special lady. We are going to miss you, dear friend. Our warmest hugs, prayers and condolences to Ross, your loving family and friends who adored you.

Extremely sorry for your loss.

So many memories that I could write a book. Favorites were boating and golfing with Louise. I am going to miss her deeply.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
