She will always be wee-lou to me. So brave! So beautiful! So sad!

Louise made an impact on my life in such a way i cannot describe. She taught me that no matter how bad you think your situation is there is someone in a circumstance worse than yours. She gone to be an angel with another angel, my father. You will always hold a special place in my heart Louise along with many others.
Until we meet again my friend.

Dear Friends
I don’t this girl but I’m sad for her family and friends! Did she had a NF? Kind regards Francis

Francis, Yes Louise had nf2 just as Denise. So many has lost their fight to this disorder. I pray that I will see a cure in my life time.

This is a brief exchange I had with wee lou’s aunt, Tracy:
Lou Congelio
Everyone here is in a daze. We had no idea her time was so close. She never said a word.
Tracy Cunningham:
she didn’t know herself at the time it all happened really quick we are all devistated as a family aswell we all need quiet time to come to terms with this

This is a brief exchange I had with wee lou’s friend, Wendy:
Wendy,
I am a friend of Louise Cunningham, or more affectionately known as Wee Lou. From the cooments on her Facebook, it sounds as if she has passed on. Can you confirm that this is true? If so, is there anything in the local newspapers about her passing? We are very sad here in Houston and are hoping that this is just one big gigantic mistake! Can you help?
With much appreciation and sadness,
Lou Congelio
Wendy Guest:
Hi Lou, sadly Louise did pass away on thursday 12th June. She hadn’t been well for some time and had had a few near deaths before but always came round. I don’t know the full deatils of how she passed or where she was. I only found out through her bebo page. I think it was all a bit sudden. Her funeral is on Wednesday at 11.30am. She will be sadly missed but I’m sure she will be much more comfortable now and finally at peace. xxx
Love and blessings

I am so sorry to hear this news. I did not know Louise, but have read about her on your blog for the past year or so. My heart goes out to her family, friends and the NF community.
June 18th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Hey there Everybody wanted to say Im sorry to hear about Louise
June 26th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I am very sad for the passing of this delightful young woman. You could tell that Louise loved life and her friends and that she valued her quality of life more than quantity. She deserved to have both. She was very courageous.
I really regret that my wife and I had to cancel our trip to Edinburg last Fall. Louise and I had planned to meet for lunch. She will be missed.

Remember Me
By Louise Cunningham
Have a heart, don’t stand and stare
For what I’ve been through, is not fair
A half heart smile that’s all I can give
Many a times I’ve wanted to cry in sorrow
But ill hold for tomorrow
It may be the day
Ill stand and say “I’m Home Now”
So don’t cry for me
I’m right where I belong
So hold your head high
Smile and say “I love you, I miss you”
Have a heart, don’t stand and stare
The least you can do is pretend you care
I have so many stories to share
That are robust and beyond repair
There are some days I long to forget
But with you by my side ill never forget
I’ve started this journey on which i fight
But with you there now, it will be easy and light.
