January 17, 2015 marks the 1st anniversary of the death of Louise Fauteux, my sister (aka Louisa). She was a wonderful gift to the world. As a nurse she was compassionate. As a kidney dialysis sales consultant she was a consummate professional. As a friend she was loyal. As an aunt and sister in-law she was inspirational. As a sister she was everything. She was an all round great human being. I miss her immensely.
In the end Louise died from Lewy Body disease. Throughout her life she was, in a good way, crazy! She laughed, she loved, and she lived a full life. Louisa loved to feed the ducks. They would gather around her as she fed them cracked corn, and she would smile.
So, for Louisa, and for all the crazy people who change the world in their own unique way I invite you to feed the ducks. As they quack, you might smile. Louisa will be smiling with you. I love you sister, always!
Jules Fauteux 
Next time we take the grandkids to feed the ducks cracked corn, I will remember this and Louisa too!
Today I dozed a bit while sitting by the pool(we are in Puerto Adventuras Mexico)As often happens in that hazey moment random thoughts fly by….and today I was taken back in a dream like state to when Lou was across the hall from me at MGH…she was putting up her hair in a french twist and putting on her cap…applying a final swipe of lip balm and topping it all of by putting on the red blazer with white trim….she turned in the direction of my door and flashed me a huge smile….it was so real …..I know her spirit is still abundant. She was a loving friend. I miss her zest. Love from Pam Miller
Sleep on and take your rest Louise. Quack, quack!! Love Actually…..
Jules; she wasn’t just feeding the ducks; she was building wonderful memories for you and her friends. When I look at the picture I see your strong arms of love, caring and compassion around her. And I can say without a doubt, that what I see is what she felt from you. Bless you as you cherish those wonderful memories.
