"Through the mystery of the Resurrection, O Lord, life is changed, not taken away"
My thoughts and prayers are with you, and may the words written above help place death in perspective! With warmest thoughts of all of you, Blessings Josepha (Martyres)
I was saddened to learn of Lou’s decline in health and of her passing. She was the epitome of a family matriarch, raising my friends Barnaby, George, Richard and Pat with wisdom, humour, and a no-nonsense approach to life. I shall always remember most fondly her love of music, her wonderful laugh and her sage advice. Heather and I offer our condolences and prayers to Lou’s family, grandchildren and extended family. It was indeed an honour and a privilege to have known her for more than 50 years. May she Rest In Peace. We will cherish her memory - a wonderful lady.
I will always remember Lou for being well-informed, up-to-the-minute on current affairs, and a stimulating conversationalist. She always seemed to be half way through a book that sounded so interesting. She was someone who was always eager to learn about something new. So rare these days. When she and her family arrived in Canada, staying with my family in Toronto, she was the first Pinto sibling I met, and she made a big impression on me. It was sad to hear about her difficult health of late. Our condolences go out to Barnaby, Richard, George and Patrick, their spouses and families, and to all others who knew her and will miss her.

Dear Austin, family and extended family,
We are so sorry to hear of Lourdes' passing. She was always pleasant and smiling
whenever we met. It must be a great loss to her children, grand-children, great-
grandchildren, siblings and her extended family.
Please be assured that she is in our prayers, as well as her family and extended family, that they may be comforted in knowing that she now rests with the Lord and is away from the problems of this world.
May her soul rest in peace and many her memory be a blessing.
Love and God Bless,
Biren and Gemma
Hopefully we can make it to he celebration of life in 22
