Dear Lois and Alan and all of Louise’s family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Louise. Your mother was a grand lady and such a hard worker. I have so many fond memories of your Mom when I drove with her to London when she worked at Woolworths. Getting stuck in a snow bank was one of them and being picked up by an army bus to Lucan. The one thing I always remember about Louise is the love she had for her two girls. She always bragged about and was so proud of her two girls and usually had some little special thing she had bought for her girls. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Louise was a treasure! I will remember her always as a very independent woman who always had an up beat attitude. She had tremendous pride in her family that expanded as her family did. She always had time for a short visit, whenever or wherever you met her. Not long ago I told her that she had not changed since she moved to Lucan and today I am surprised to read her age. Enjoy your memories of her. Bill and I send our sympathy.
Jennifer Skonieczny
