To The MacLeod Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Wheezy Louise! She was the only reason life was bearable at Michael’s and is one of the sweetest, kind, loving and great women I’ve ever known. It was so awesome to run into her months ago at BMO. She often spoke of all her boys. One of the greatest gals of all time. My thoughts are with you all. Xoxoxo

Rod, Ian & Grady:

There are few words of comfort at a time like this, please accept our deepest and heart felt sympathy for the loss of your soul mate and your mother. She will always be in your hearts and minds…

Rod, we feel your loss and pain at this very sad time.

We stayed with you during our Canadian holiday in the 80’s and witnessed for ourselves Louise’s wonderful qualities in being a loving wife, a devoted mother and a cherished daughter. She was so very highly efficient and was a perfect hostess.

Our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy to you, Iain and Grady.

Your Scottish, Isle of Lewis, cousins

Margaret J, Donald and Norman.

Rod, Iain, Grady…thinking of you today and sending you lots of strength, positive energy, courage and love. As you face the challenges of Louise’s loss, I hope you are able to celebrate her life with great memories of all that you shared together; the love, fun, laughter, family, friends and good times. With great sympathy and love…Rob

Dear Rod,

Carol and I offer our condolences on your great loss. We offer our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Sincerly,

Dear Rod, Iain, Grady & Bailey the wonder dog

It gave me tremendous peace to have been able to see Louise the day before she left us. Her face was still full of that incredible beauty and joy which gave all of us such a fullness of life whenever we were in her company. It is that joy and fullness of humanity which I think most of us will take with us every time we think of her.

When I drove back to Edmonton that night, I was energized from having seen her smile and felt the warmth of her tender and loving humanity, which is also flowing through the other precious half of the oneness that was / is Rod and Louise. She is at rest, and we are all blessed , and better because of her passing through our lives.

Our prayers and thoughts remain with you,

Sharon & J-P.

Rod, I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you and the boys find some peace in this difficult time.

Delainey

Rod,

We are so sorry to hear the sad news of your wife’s death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

To Rod and Family

My heartfelt sympathy to you all on the passing of Louise.

I remember with fondness how Louise and you were our gracious tour guides when my dear departed father (Ian MacDonald, Isle of Lewis connection) and I visited Canada back in the late 1980s. I have precious photos of that day to refer to.

Thinking of you at this sad time,

MARIE MACDONALD

Dear Rod; I am so sorry to hear about Louise. We hadn’t seen each other for quite awhile – after we had each stopped working at Michaels and started at different jobs, it was hard to keep in touch. Louise had a great sense of humour, an infectious laugh and she made the Michael’s framing department a much more pleasant environment. We shared a lot of jokes, laughed over the antics of our children – I’ll never forget her description of the snowwman’s appendage that Iain and Grady graced your front yard with after an exceptionally heavy spring snowfall – and commiserated over the trials of being a Michaels’ employee! I know she loved her family very much and would do anything for them. It was an honour to have known her – she was a wonderful person. May all your happy memories of your life together help you, Iain and Grady through this time of sorrow.
