Dear Family and friends, I was very sorry to hear about the death of your family member. Louise was a wonderful woman, great mom, grandmother, wife and friend. She will always be fondly remembered by me. I was lucky to have lived on the same street with her for at least 20 years. I will have masses said for her in Cameron Park at Holy Trinity Church. My best to your entire family. I am sorry that I had to miss her wake and funeral. Fondly, Robin Ciulla Williams and family.

The Sisters of the Presentation are sad to hear of the death of Louise. As an Associate of our Congregation she carried out the motto of the Congregation, "Not words, but deeds" I was deeply impressed by her love and concern for the shut-ins of Epiphany Parish. I pray that she may now enjoy the blessings of life eternal.
With deep gratitude and love,
Sister Patricia Anne, PBVM
