In memory of Louise Ramage

[Groggy Doggy]

I'm planning that tomorrow afternoon I will go to Minister Philpott's office and ask to deliver it to her personally - I do not know if she will be there - I am planning on reading Leeanne's notes aloud - and asking Minister Philpott to respond to Leeanne and the ME community - I then plan to post the video online in honour of Louise.)

Excellent plan! You are fearless!

Out of our recent ME losses, Louise's story has hit me the hardest. I did not know her while she was with us, but feel a sense of kinship with her (that's hard to explain).

So thank you so much for honoring Louise's life!

What can we do to prevent this from happening again?

I have no idea. You can't force a dr. to give you a prescription.

Louise's obituary is here http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/deltaoptimist/obituary.aspx?pid=180820773 until the end of August (unless someone pays to renew it). Sadly, there are no guest book entries, so I put one today. BTW http://mefm.bc.ca/donate-now/ is the local MEFM organization link in case anyone wants to donate in her memory to help others in the future.

My mom knew her and gave her emotional support.

Bump, in the hope that more people will see the link to the obituary.

(ETA: Since Leeanne mentions "please donate to more research", I wonder if it would be helpful if people wishing to make a donation knew where to direct their funds? I'm not aware of Canadian researchers / orgns accepting donations. Ideas?)

I wrote the local ME FM organization in her memorial book online, but they didn't publish it. It is http://mefm.bc.ca/donate-now/ They have a volunteer run phone line which is awesome!

Further when I was checking the online memorial (which expires Aug 28 unless someone pays for it), they had her birth year as 2016 .. so I wrote them and asked them to change it, as I wanted to know her age. Also I noticed 3 people have now written in her book since someone bumped this thread .. so that's nice.

I just feel so helpless when I think of beautiful Louise; is there anything I could have done? It's just so sad when wonderful people leave behind their loving families. It's still so painful to think about.
