Gram also loved escaping winter in Mazatlan and had many fun times and friends that still ask about her. Louise had a great sense of humour and enjoyed life and people. Her honesty and commitment were her strong traits and she never did things half way. This was demonstrated throughout her life in work, play, good times and bad, Louise would always be there. We will always miss you Louise (Gram). The family would like to thank the staff at St. Joseph's and home care who cared for her with kindness and respect.
