Time alone cannot erase all the great experiences Carol and I had with Dick and Louise Card. What a great caring and lovely lady Louise was and her smile and warmth will be greatly missed. We know that she has reaped a just reward and is at Peace with our Father and Richard in a Heavenly Dwelling. A. F. Martin Family

Dear Cathy and family, I was in Millcreek Canyon over the weekend and remembered that I had seen Louise's obituary in the paper recently. I thought I'd express my condolences. I have fond memories of beautiful Louise from my childhood. I remember her being a wonderful hostess and can picture her fabulous home and yard on Millcreek. I know my parents had many good times with both Louise and Dick. It is difficult when both parents are gone. I hope that good memories and the love of family will help all of you as you grieve. Best wishes, Ginny

To the wonderful Card family, I have very fond memories of Dick & Louise, we spent every Christmas Eve at their beautiful home. They were family to me, I am Danny's daughter, Linny. I called Louise not long before she passed and had a fun conversation with her. Her & Dick loved to golf, and I spent many times on the course with my Dad and them. Louise was so full of life, and very artistic. My hands and heart reach out to you, I'm so sorry for your loss. Linda Tolhurst Divide Colorado
