Louise Anne Shaw

Hey Lou, was just sat with my morning cuppa thinking about you. I hope it’s beautiful up there and everyone is doing ok. ❤️ I set up this page back in January and never really managed to put my words together to say what I wanted to say. Grief is like that though, hey. Crops up out of nowhere on the days our minds feel ready to process it. In my adult life, I didn’t really know you that well, we had only seen each other a handful of times, but that doesn’t erase all of the memories from my childhood. You were someone I aspired to be like, growing up. My stunning older cousin, who let me in on all the secrets of being older, how you straighten your hair with the iron, how to do your makeup. When you came to babysit me with Gemma you’d paint my nails, show me the newest singles (I still have some of the CDs now), tell me tales of your teen years. I felt like the luckiest little girl to have a big cousin as cool and kind as you! One evening you took me to the cinema and out for my tea, just us. It was probably one of the first times I’d been allowed to go out without my mum and dad or nan and grandad, I was SO made up. Thank you for those times Lou, you’ll never know how happy you made that little girl. Those and so many more memories will stay in my head and heart forever and I’m so sad we can’t sit here together and talk about it all. I’m going to dig out the photos this weekend of us on the trampoline in Moreton - again when I was probably showing you off to all my friends! Love you always our angel.

Louise ❤️ I am so grateful to have been your friend since we were young. I have nothing but happy memories of you from when we were kids. You brought happiness and laughter with you everywhere you went. Your laugh was brilliant, you were so much fun, and I was always so excited to see you. Louise was always generous and open, and as we became teenagers and got older, you were gentle and lovely to be with. You always had time for others. No matter what you went through in your life, you remained so kind and loving and open to others, and you will remain an inspiration to me. We lost touch a little as we grew older and moved away, you, often on the other side of the world, and surprising me with stories of your many adventures. You were brave and I know how kind you always have been. You were beautiful, inside and out, and I can still feel what it felt like to hear you laugh, and to be joking around with you and having fun. There was nothing like it. Forever grateful to have been your friend. A precious life gone too soon. Be at peace Louise, forever loved.

Rest In Peace

To my beautiful Cousin Louise, thinking of you, you are missed so dearly, now your no longer here. When I am thinking of you each day I shed a tear. I will always treasure the lovely memories I have in my memory of when we were growing up, your love lives on in my heart. Remembering all of weekends we spent together at Moreton shore and New Brighton on the fair ground and fishing with our Dads. You were such a blessing, to your Mum and Dad they were so proud of you and what you acheived in such a short time in your life. Lots of traveling and outdoors was your escape to mindfulness. The last few years of your life were tough and you worked so hard during the pandemic. Not being able to go out and socialise during those difficult times took its toll. You were so thoughtful and so true. I remember when I had Hannah and you and Gemma loved her so much, you would take her to the cinema or for walks in Newsham Park. I feel eternally grateful to have known such a beautiful cousin like you 💛 Our beautiful Angel in heaven xxxx

Louise, since hearing this sad news I can’t stop thinking about you and your family. I have so many lovely memories of you and you were always so kind to me, inviting me to yours for tea and meeting your sister Gemma 🫶🏼🫶🏼. You always had the best curled eyelashes and made me smile… RIP Louise 🙏🏻🙏🏻💗💗💗💗

I offer my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. May Louise Anne Shaw's soul be at peace with our Heavenly Father. ~ Jozef Clifford Behr.

To my friend Louise, gone but never forgotten. Your laugh, smile and warmth will live on forever. I will always remember our friendship so fondly, we did so much together. All the trips we took together, colomendy, France, Holland, Greece to name a few. The funniest times at the caravan in Towyn. Dance class, brownies, Guides, first Aid with Hillary. Starting the first day of seniors together, being so happy we were in the same form class. The talent shows we practiced for in your bedroom, we loved the stage! You taught me how to properly curl my eyelashes and how to listen, although you were always better at it. You were such a good listener and always had the best advice. I’m heartbroken to be writing this so early in your life, you have been taken from us too soon. You’re at peace now Lou, forever young and beautiful. Love always your friend J x♥️
