Sincere condolences to all the McGowan family on the death of dear Louise. Louise taught me English and History in King's Inns Street School and her passion for the subjects made them more enjoyable.

I then worked as Secretary in King's Inns Street School and Louise was a work colleague for over 30 years. Her laughter and sense of humour made the coffee and lunch breaks in school very enjoyable. Louise will be sadly missed and there will be a big void in the lives of her family and friends due to her absence.

Louise was an excellent and very respected teacher. May Louise rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy on the loss of Louise to all her family.
Thanks for your company Louise.
Rest in Peace now.
