Toutes mes sympathies à toute la famille. Louise était une personne très attachante, toujours souriante et compréhensive. Elle avait toujours quelques minutes pour nous parler, nous pouvions lui faire confiance. Elle nous a manqué quand elle a quitté le Centre d’Accueil Champlain. C’est une personne qui a fait sa marque et que l’on oublie pas
Many years ago we were blessed to have Louise and Richard as next door neighbours. We remember Louise for her happy welcoming smile, and her helpful, kind, and friendly way.
We are very saddened for your loss Richard, and our thoughts are with you.

Nos pensées sont avec vous tous. Bon courage!
Chers Richard, Nicole et Maya, Michelle et Mélissa, Éric et Christine,
Nous vous présentons nos plus sincères condoléances. Nos pensées vous accompagnent en ces moments difficiles.
Louise est la première maman que j’ai rencontré lors de mon arrivée à Orléans en juin 1981. Elle était une femme douce, d’une grande gentillesse et toujours de bonne humeur. Nous sommes devenues de bonnes amies.
Je garde des souvenirs précieux dans mon cœur, du temps qu’on a passé ensemble avec nos enfants à aller au groupe de jeu, aux cours de natation et aux cours de patinage. Et que dire de ces bons moments à rire et à jaser, en savourant notre « bonne tasse de thé, pendant que nos enfants s’amusaient.
Repose en paix chère Louise, je ne t’oublierai jamais.
Scott et Suzanne
