Michelle It has been many years since I had seen Loiuse but Dennis spoke of you on a regular basis and loved you so much and he was so brave.
You raised a very thoughtful and loving man and I am thankful you are not suffering anymore and those who surround the family will be there sharing memories – rest in peace

Sheryl Mearns Louise was a force to be reckoned with. She was a defender of rights. She was the protector of the 65 residents of the Wellbeing Wing of the Wellesley. She was a dynamic powerhouse of a woman wrapped up in a 4′ 9″ frame. I will miss her greatly but I am so relieved that she is no longer in the constant pain that has plagued her for so long.

Katie Andrews I worked as a care aid at the Wellesley for five years where I met your mom Louise. I was so saddened to hear she had passed, she was very well liked by the staff and residents and she had the best laugh and smile and she sure enjoyed laughing with staff and residents and was exceptionally good at her job and new it inside and out . She spoke frequently of her children and grandchildren and enjoyed visiting them on her time away from the Wellesley. She always had dog biscuits in her desk drawer for the dogs that would visit and always a treat for kids and staff .I will really miss Louise she was always there for me with an open heart and good advice . She was dedicated to her job and I really admired her work ethic and how hardworking she was she was always on the go and ready to help anyone who needed it I will really miss her joyless spirit and her laugh. My condolences to your family with love from Katie Andrews
