Deepest condolences to Louise’s Family. I remember seeing Louise so many times over the years while in town but also fondly remember the times she came to my place in Hickman’s Harbour to visit with Ivy.

To the entire Smith family, deepest condolences on the loss of Mrs. S. She was truly one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. Being friends with our family for nearly five decades, after my grandfather’s passing you were like a sister, a great friend and comfort to my grandmother in her own final months, speaking often twice daily. I’ll remember Louise fondly, her smile, sense of humour, and always having the lyrics to hymns or good old country songs on her mind, something suitable for any conversation or occasion. Mrs. S., as you take your last great journey, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
My condolences on the passing of your Mom, she was always so bright and sunny, loved a good laugh, so positive and kind. Louise, you filled a lot of hearts with love for you. You are missed. You left a lot of wonderful memories for your family and friends to remember with a smile. You lived a long life and shared a lot of fun times with Mom and Mrs. Burgess walking the streets of Mount Pearl and visiting your other friends. Your hearty laugh and beautiful presence filled your living room, you enjoyed good conversations there with everyone you knew and loved. I will Love you always Auntie Louise 💗 Margot
We would like to pass along our condolences to the Smith family.
Sharon and family my deepest condolences to all of you on the passing of your beautiful Mother. May your memories bring comfort as you go through this journey. A Mother’s love is a blessing and now you have a guardian angel always looking over you.
Although no word can help to ease your pain, just know that you’re all in our thoughts and prayers. Fly high with the angles Mrs. Smith.
Oh my Louise, I still can’t believe you are gone. You were a true friend, you were always the same, and we never ever fought in all the years I knew you. For many years you were the first person I spoke to every morning (late morning, you were a night owl and loved your late night TV shows) and last person I spoke to every night. We had a lot of laughs and I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life. Till we meet again dear friend. Love Ivy
Glen & Smith family my deepest condolences on your great loss. May your Mom RIP.
To Sharon and family
