Louise was also a twin and there was never a day gone by that she didn't speak to her sister, Renée Griffin. Louise worked for Liberty Richter company for many years, a specialty gourmet food importer acquired by World Finer Foods in January, 2007, having worked with many dear colleagues who remained close friends after Louise retired. Mom also worked as an office manager in the office of her son, Joseph Hamilton. Louise also loved to travel with friends and family and Italy was her most favorite destination, followed by London, Scotland, Turkey and Cyprus. Louise spent many wonderful, family weekends at Bay Head and Forked River, NJ with her children & grandchildren. All those who knew Mom loved her smile, compassion and loving nature. Louise never forgot to send those cherished birthday and Christmas cards to her nearest and dearest family and friends...she was the heart and soul of our family and kept us all close to her. We will miss her dearly and have many wonderful memories to cherish.
