In Memoriam

Matt and family I am so sorry about Louises passing. I have many fond memories of conversations with Louise. We usually talked first about her family and grandkids and then about travel adventures. Her eyes always lit up talking about family, and it couldnt have been more clear how much she loved and was proud of her family. She was also such an adventurer. During our last conversation, at this years gala, we ended up talking about how she wanted to go skydiving and was still working on selling the idea to Matt. It was so Louise, and I will remember her with a big smile.

Sending me and my family's deepest condolences to you and your family, Matt. The way you speak about Louise's devotion has always an inspiration. Please move forward in grace in your grief, and may every single memory be a blessing.

Dear Matt, We will uphold you always, and may Louise's memory be a blessing for us all.

Dear Matt and Family, Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. I hope you find comfort in the cherished memories you shared and in the support of those around you.

Sincere condolences :pray:

Matt I´m really sorry for your loss may you find resilience in this stage of grief.

To the Myers Family - My deepest condolences on the passing of Louise. I remember her always being so kind and warm to me when we would see each other at the gala each year. I was amazed that she even remembered who I was with so many CFTFK staff! It's in those small moments that I was reminded that I am truly part of the CFTFK family. I found this inspirational quote and I hope it provides you solace during this time: Those we love dont go away, they walk beside us every dayunseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and very dear.

Very sorry for your loss, wishing you strength and blessings in this difficult time.

Dear Matt, I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your wife Louise. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Warm regards, Pato

I am so sad by the passing of Louise. She was very dear to me. Matt, every time you shared with her some of my accomplishments, she would immediately send me a note. The last time I saw her she let me know how happy she was to see me and asked me about the kids. I said to everybody that she gave me a hug. I am not sure if she physically gave me a hug but I know I felt hug by the expression of love in her eyes. It is good to know that she passed peacefully in her sleep and did all she wanted and love all she could. You were a lucky man to have her for so long in your life. I know this is going to be hard but know your TFK family is here to support you.

I am so very sorry, dear Matt. I was so honored to meet Louise at your retirement party. You both have created an enduring community. Thinking of you and your family.

Dear Matt, We're so sorry to hear the sad news of the passing of Louise. Our hearts go out to you and your family during this difficult time. We know that no one can take away your grief and sorrow, but hope that our love and prayers may bring you comfort and strength. Sending love and hugs your way.

My heartfelt sympathy for Matt and family. Louise was a Saint in her own League. She did much for so many for so long. I am glad to have known her through my good friend Matt who I love and respect. All our prayers are with you.

Matt, I will always remember Louise as someone who was especially welcoming to me when I joined the CTFK family and was so warm toward me whenever I saw her at our events. She was that rare person who always made others feel valued. I feel grateful to have known her and will miss her.

Dear Matt, In this sorrowful time, we would like to extend to you our heartfelt condolences!

I'm very sorry to hear the news, and I haven't had a chance to meet Louise yet. I know that language is weak now, but I sincerely hope that Matt and his family can have comfort from God!

May she rest in peace. Your friends, including me, stand ready to help if and when you need us.

Dear Matt and family, I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your beloved Louise.

Matt and the Myers Family our hearts here at the AHA missed a beat when we heard the news of Louises untimely passing. In her presence, we all felt like a part of her extended family just as she was so much a part of our own family of partners in the tobacco control movement. Our condolences for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. The world is better because Louise was in it, and her impact will continue.

Dear Matt, So very sorry for your unexpected loss: Hamakom y'nachem etchem b'toch sh'ar availai tziyon ee yerushalayim. As I think of you and your family walking this dichotomous road of grieving Louises passing and celebrating her rich life, I am reminded of the words of Psalm 30:5 - weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. May you and your family be embraced by love in this difficult time. May you be surrounded and embraced by love in this difficult time.

It is with a very heavy heart that I learned the news of your beloved Louise leaving us. As far as I can remember since joining CTFK, your love and admiration for her were always apparent. Not one week passed without you mentioning her name in one way or another, always letting us know that she was your most precious partner, guide and love. You were the ultimate duo. Thinking of you and your beautiful, loving family and wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you remember Louise, the many lives she has touched with her grace and the immense love you all shared together.

Dear Matt, my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Sending my deepest condolences to Matt, Micah, Daniel and their families at this very difficult time. I remember Louise with such fondness and appreciation. Micah was two years old when I began my babysitting years with them (and eventually Daniels arrival). Then Louise encouraged me to apply and helped me land a job at GWU. Her memory will always be a blessing for me and everyone who was privileged to know and love her. With warmest wishes for peace from Tallahassee Florida.

Oh Matt, this is heartbreaking! David and I always admired the partnership you and Louise had - so much love, support and respect for each other. Its not an easy thing to each be professionally and personally successful, and the two of you not only achieved that, but you both have always interacted with everyone with such grace and kindness. We send our deepest condolences to you and your family. I hope that memories of your time with Louise, her legacy, your beautiful family and your broad network of friends and colleaugues who care about you so much, will provide you comfort and peace in this very difficult time.

Matt, you and your family have been in my daily prayers since we heard the shocking and heartbreaking news. Some long-together couples improve the world through their families. Others have one or both with very impactful careers. You and Louise have had all of the above, and I know how greatly she is missed. I truly believe she is with you still, just in another form. May your wonderful memories be of some comfort. Carter and I send our love at this very difficult time.

My deepest condolences to you, Matt, and your family. Louise, such an elegant, caring and approachable lady who is an example of a woman who handled her professional and family life with strength and compassion in equal portions. It's been more than 20 years but I have not forgotten her or how relaxed she made me feel when we met. The "light" has dimmed with her loss.

Matt we were so distressed to hear the news, that it has taken me until now to get my thoughts together. We share your grief. I always loved seeing the two of you together. You were so devoted to each other and Louise shared you with the world. We are sending you and your family love and grace during this difficult time.

Dear Matt, I was deeply saddened to learn of Louise's passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Words can do little to ease the pain of losing a loved one, but please know that you and your family are in my thoughts. May the cherished memories you shared bring you comfort and strength in the days ahead.
