Hi My Name is Shane Randall and after almost 34 years of Marriage to Louise, She sadly passed away very quickly on Thursday 9th July (our anniversary would have been on the 25th July. not bad considering the minister who married us told us we were to young and wouldn't last longer than 6 months, well didn't we prove him wrong.

Anyway with Louise passing away, we didn't have any funeral plans in place because of being on benefits, not by choice but because we both have/had heath issues.

I am sorry to be Asking for your kind donation in order to help fund both the funeral and the wake (should get a grant from DWP but it just will not cover the full costs involved).

Let me Tell you about Louise

Louise had a passion for Christ and serving as well as a passion for children, we could not have any of our own but have been blessed by having sooo many nieces and nephews and also sort of adopted children/grandchildren.

Louise set up all sorts of church kids clubs both after school and during school holidays, In our previous church Louise not only set up a toddler group but also an after school Lego club (this club provided meals for children and parents after a playtime)

Louise also started the children's work at the church along with doing Sunday School, During Lockdown we managed to get activity packs to around 50 children a week and also did a Sunday service for the kids.

Even though Louise was busy with church life all of her life she still found time to run a Cub Scout group in our early years together then when we moved to the Isle of Wight Louise started volunteering with Red Cross covering First Aid at public events then leading on to Ambulance Work with Red Cross including transporting end of life patients to home where they needed/wanted to be. Louise was also one of the founder members of the Isle of Wight Red Cross Fire and Emergency Support, within that role she spent one week packing up homes that where effected by a major landslide on the Island.

Louise was with Red Cross for 15 years

Louise was doing not only Children's Work at Newport Congregational Church, she was also the church secretary for a while and also began to study for a Theological Degree with the Congregational Federation, Louise would have started her final year in September.

Louise then became a Café Chaplin at the Minster in Newport and when we Moved churches, became a Café Chaplin at Ryde All Saints Church so providing support for those who needed it on both Mondays and Fridays.

2 years ago Louise was diagnosed with a rare condition and found there wasn't any support for that condition on the Island, so she set up a GTA/PMR Support group for the Island.

On a whole Louise gave her life to supporting families and individuals as well as serving God and the wider community.

Louise will be Missed not only by Myself but also by so many others.

I thank you all for taking the time to read this appeal and also for your kind donation...THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
