If it were not for the kindness of Louise I may never have made it to the second day of kindergarten. Her kindness extended well past that date for many years as a good friend of my parents.
The whole family has my deepest condolences. She was a great lady.
So sad to hear the news. My condolences to the family. Such a lovely, lovely lady. She’s in a better place and she’s not in pain.
Louise has been to me the sister that God forgot to give me. She has been the truest and most loyal friend, whose absence in my life will leave a big void.
Louise did not want me to cry, but this I could not control.
I shall not grieve her passing, but will always be glad that she lived and that I was privileged to walk brief moments in my life on her path! Louise was the epitamy of a loving mother,grandmother, great grandmother , wife and ,to me, a sister I never had!!! Her presence in my life has left footprints in my heart forever! My family, who have met her, share my loss and love to this amazing woman called Louise.
On behalf of the entire Warren family, we offer our condolences on the passing of Louise. She met my mom, Ave, when Jimmy and my brother Chris started kindergarten and became close friends from then on. As well as the many milestones and family parties that they shared together, I recall them spending hours chatting on the phone! May she be at peace.
Dear Sam,
So sorry about learning of Louise’s passing. You had her for a lovely 61 years. One of God’s blessings. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Our condolences to the family. Louise will be greatly missed. We will keep her in our prayers.
Sorry we cannot be there.
Joe and Tony Vitalone & family
My dear Aunt Louise was the one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever met. Lovely and loving, she was more of an influence on our family than she ever knew with her brave but gentle spirit, inner strength, humour, and generosity. That’s the legacy we all want to leave. Rest well, Aunt Louise.
I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace, comfort and lots of love.
I have so many fond memories of your mom during my teenage years. Sending my warmest condolences at this very sad time. I will unfortunately be out of the country on the 30th but I will be thinking of you all with much love. Amanda

Many an after school or weekend visit to the Paul house was part of our youth, growing up in Thornhill. Louise was always there taking care of us like a 2nd Mom! She was a great, caring lady and will be forever in our hearts.
Until we meet again….
All the best to the Paul family from the Zupancic family.
My heartfelt, sincere sympathy to Louise’s family at her passing. She had a gentle, loving soul that touched the hearts of all she met with her smile, the glint of playful joy in her eyes, and her ready laughter. I have been fortunate to know her, to have shared time with her, and I will miss her until we’re able to meet again.
Dear Mr Paul and the entire Paul family
I have so many memories that swirl back to me of your loving wife and mother.
She was always smiling, and forever cooking up something sweet or delicious. Genuinely welcoming & caring for all her children’s friends who passed through the doors.
She blessed your family so much with her amazing disposition, strength and nurturing motherly ways this is truly reflective in each of her own children, grandchildren & great grandchildren.
Take comfort in those cherished memories of her which will live on forever!
With love & our deepest sympathies,
Michelle (Anderson) Passera & the Anderson Family

Sincerely, Greg and Sharron Frosina.

Dear Sam and family;
We were saddened to hear of Louise’s passing. We wish you peace and strength at this difficult time and may fond memories help heal your hearts.
With sincerest sympathy,
Cousin Theresa Lacognato and family
My deepest condolences to all of you for your loss.
Those of us kids who grew up on Normark Drive remember playing outside til the street lights came on.
When we heard the WHISTLE, we knew it was Michelle’s Mom telling her kids to come home! 😅
I remember Louise being a kind, soft spoken women.
The last time I saw both she & Sam was at a visitation for another neighbour a few years ago.
It was a so great seeing them again and catching up! 💕
Sending all of you healing energy and light.
