My mother went to nursing school with Louise. She was a lifelong friend to her. They shared many happy times together. She will be missed by her friends and family. Unfortunatly we are away from home and cannot attend the service. - Posted by: ED & Elaine Thibedeau (Family friend) on: Mar 01, 2012

I used to visit with Louise when I went TO Winnipeg. In 1956 I went to see her in Chicago. She was like an older sister to me. God bless her and those she leaves behind. - Posted by: Jeannine St Amant Gosselin (cousine) on: Feb 29, 2012

My husband and I would like to pass our condolences at this very difficult time. She was a very good friend with my parents, Salonge & Rene Roy (St. Jean Baptiste). I remember meeting Louise at my Memeres, Mrs. Dupas in St. Jean. I always found her such a classy lady and enjoyed her conversations and beautiful smile. She came to Deloraine for my Mom's funeral in 2001 and will never forget the strength she gave me at that time. Again my prayers are with you but remember the great memories.
