So sorry for your loss. Louise was an amazing mother, wife, and friend. I first came to know the Beirne family at St Luke parish/school. My brother Phil Cooper was friends with Michael in grade school and then reconnected when they were 45 or so. Louise brought love and compassion to the world throughout her life’s journey. What a blessing to have known her. May she be welcomed into the kingdom with songs of joy by all those who have gone before her. Peace be with you.

Dearest Larry, Michele, Claudia,Matthew,
This life has lost a force of love but I know with every cell in my body that the heavens are joyous with the arrival of Louise. For us she left a huge mark of love on our hearts. Someone once asked me how do you know the Beirne family–are you related? My response was well when you know Louise you know the entire family because Louise’s identity was her family. She loved God, her family, and all things that bring joy to life…art, music, laughter. I consider myself one of the fortunate to have known her and I am certain she is in the arms of Michael and David. What a gift she was-I remember her singing to Bob Ryan in the hospital and sharing her love with everyone she came in contact with throughout the years . God blessed us all when he put our paths together. May your memories of her love and dedication comfort you.
Oh Matt and Sean we were so saddened to learn of your mother’s passing. Even though we never met her I feel we knew her through your many stories and feel sorry we missed the experience of meeting her. Our prayers are with you and your family God bless and may she Rest In Peace. Blessings and love, Dennis and Linda
A woman full of wonder and smarts! A woman of God full of spiritual depth and grace! The times she spent on Block Island gave me time to sped with here and her guests. She made all of us Family: fed us, entertained us, counselled us and, yes, even scolded us ever so gently! She was a delight and I will miss her sorely But her Faith made her understanding, accepting and loving. Those qualities she takes with her into eternity and the memories of each of us. Now she is our intercessor unceasingly praying for us directly before God that we finish our journey in a good , timely manner. Thank you, Louise, for everything and for you!
