My sincere condolences to Louise’ family and friends. May you find comfort in the promise at Revelation 21:4- “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I am truly sorry for your loss.

Louise, even though we did not see each other over. many years, you, Sandee and Dan were often in my thoughts. I have never forgotten the kindness you extended to us when we, Sandee’s high school friends, would gather at your house every week. God bless you, Roland , Sandee and Dan and may you all rest in peace in God’s Kingdom.

Aunt (Tante) Louise was the most amazing and inspirational woman I have ever known. Caring for her daughter (my cousin) all those many years, she never once complained. Even at the young age of 82 she was still caring for Sandee, which entailed everything, getting her out of bed, bathing, feeding, transporting her around town, which also meant lifting her out of her wheelchair into the car, onto a chair, into the shower, onto the toilet and the list goes on. She was tireless and always full of energy. She was forever helping someone. She had an immense heart and generous soul. Always smiling and laughing, infecting the people around her. You couldn’t help but smile and laugh with her. She had some pretty good one-liners that cracked people up. From the time I was a little girl I admired and loved Louise with all my heart. will always hold a special place there and will never be forgotten. My condolences to the Rocbichauds, Jeannie, Vinnie and Arthur and Diane. Nancy Beausoleil and family.
