My beautiful cousin and friend Louise.
From when you were a tiny baby I vowed that we would be a friends for life, and we were.
You are more like a sister to me and I will always cherish our memories.
Your life and love will live on and shine through your amazing children.

Love is our mother.”

You will always be in my heart and have always inspired me to be more like you.
Beautifully kind and thoughtful.
You were always making someone’s heart smile.
This is the gift you gave us, the power of showing there is still true kindness and selflessness in this world.
I will miss you so much but comforted to know you will never leave me in my heart, your locked in.
Thank you for being you and for all the love and happiness you gave us.
Gary, Lucia and Remy send you their kisses.
Dearest Louise,
I’m incredibly proud and grateful to have known you.
You were a shining example of compassion and selflessness; always placing others before yourself, regardless of the sacrifice.
Perhaps the biggest testament to your character is your larger than life family that will no doubt continue to embody your remarkable strength of character.
Surely nothing can speak more of a person than the legacy that they leave behind.
Yours is truly beautiful.
All my love, Sonny.
Louise you were a wonderful person – always kind, caring and unselfish.
We have so many happy memories and you will forever be in our hearts.

God needed an angel – He searched the earth and He found YOU Louise.

Dear Louise,
You were so special to so many people, your grace, your smile, your calmness and serenity are a constant inspiration. I feel so lucky to have known you and fortunate to have had you as a role model growing up. I think about how incredibly brave, selfless and strong you were and how it’s just so unfair that you are no longer with us. Your dedication to your children’s lives is your legacy as well as all the other lives you touched with your gentleness.
Love you always, your cousin Felicity with love from Blair and Beatrice xxx
Dearest Louise
You showed so much courage and determination with your terrible illness. An inspiration for us all. Your love and devotion to your little family was always first in your heart. We remember you and Nick sailing with us and we look at the photos of you often. You will be missed by all who crossed your path.
Your Uncle Michael
Dearest Louise,
From all the breastfeeding families across Castlemaine, Maldon, Maryborough and surrounding districts we humbly thank-you for your kindness, support and friendship. You attended your first meeting with your precious 6 week old baby and continued to be a central part of our small group for the next 14 years. When you moved interstate for a few years you were still trying to find ways to support breastfeeding families. Your calm, down to earth parenting helped so many of us. Words cannot express the gratitude we hold in our hearts for having known you. Your wise words will live on as we continue to support families and new parents.
We will never forget you. You will be forever in our hearts.
What a beautiful and kind person. I will always have happy memories and I will always have a smile on my face when I think of you. Rest in peace Louise.
Aimee
Louise, our unforgettable and so loving niece and cousin. You are the kindest, and provided the warmest, calmest, most unique presence above others. You have a grace that would light up the room, and the memories you have left are so valuable they will last for our whole lifetimes. They will continue to shine through your amazing family whenever we meet, a family that will have your beautiful spirit ever-present in them. You will always have our strongest love and deepest gratitude for so enriching our lives, and the lives of so many others. Whenever we remember being in your company, we will smile.
Lance, Nikki, Jack and Ellie
Dearest Louise – You breezed into our lives like Mary Poppins when you were studying at St Mary’s and cemented yourself in our family as “Wheeze” as the children couldn’t pronounce Louise. Your love, patience, innovation, craft and kindness sewed you into the fabric of our family. To watch you grow into Motherhood have been a privilege and your wonderful children are your legacy. You are in our thoughts and prayers and for now those thoughts are those that words will never adequately express.
Rest In Peace Wheeze.
The Winfield Family
Dearest Louise,
It was a gift having you beside me throughout university. You were always such a kind and calming influence and I relished being in your company. I am so lucky to have shared many happy memories with you – our holiday in Thailand, your new adventure in Australia and when you came to visit me in Ireland.
You truly were one of life’s earth angels, always thinking of the greater good. I know you will live on in your beautiful children.
I will remember you with love, forever.

Louise, I am so fortunate to have known you and to have you impact on my life. I was not only lucky enough to have you as a nanny but then to also stay with you when I visited Australia. Both these times I remember being in awe at your patience and way with children.. myself and my brothers (and you really did need patience here!) and then being lucky enough to see you as a mother to your 5 incredible children.
When I stayed with you, those days were beyond special and really made my trip. I often think and refer to you as my Australian family and look forward to the day I can make your children feel as special as you made me feel when they come to London.
Big love to every single one of you. Thank you for the difference you have made to me! 🤍
