We had waited into Friday Morning after many long hours in Prayer with the very caring Police, Coroner's Team and and Finally the Body Disposal Responders...to see her finally about 2:a.m. Exit  in that  Body that once house this most Intrepid, Vibrant  and Loving of Souls.
All she required of this End Game is the Urn of her Ashes Brought to the Mausoleum in Quebec in which  her Brother and Mother Reside.

I was  fortunate  to Share this with a Very Enthusiastic Crowd.
I was going through some very difficult emotions that Night with Louise's Sudden Death and All...
