**Death of Louis Saia**
Louis Saia, the remarkable and prolific author, director, screenwriter, actor, and stage director, has passed away at the age of 75. He was a great man, a wonderful human being—funny, determined, and deeply committed. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Lac St‑François‑Xavier Association in the early 2000s and impressed us all with his dedication.
Together with his partner, Lise Mauffette, he owned a residence in the mountains on Hunter Road in Montfort. His death is a great loss for Québec, and we will forever cherish the memory of this warm and endearing man with a magnetic personality and an unforgettable, hearty laugh. I extend my most sincere condolences to Lise, his partner of the past 40 years, as well as to all his loved ones.
Rest in peace, dear Louis.

Our nurse is retiring
Ms. Pierrette Soucy, the volunteer nurse with Santé amicale who took your blood pressure or measured your blood glucose level, has retired. Ms. Soucy provided this service for Entraide bénévole des Pays-d’en-Haut every second Tuesday of the month at the Montfort pavilion, except during the summer months. She said her goodbyes last Tuesday.
The regular visitors, who could count on her presence, her kindness, and her skills, warmly thank her and wish her happiness, health, and a long life.
While hoping that someone will be found to take over, they also hope that Ms. Soucy herself may, should the need arise, receive as much attention and kindness as she has shown to others over the years.

Death of Antonio Gomez-Moriana
It is with great sadness that I announce the death last week in Tomares, Spain, of our dear friend and former neighbor Antonio Gomez-Moriana.
Antonio and his wife Karin Gomez-Moriana and their children had a cottage in Montfort (906 rue du Chemin-de-Fer) for many years, and it was with great regret that they had to sell the property due to Antonio's Parkinson's disease.
Those who knew them will know what wonderful, kind and generous people they were, and I hope they will join me in offering Karin, Teresa, Rafael, Isabel and their children our deepest condolences and warmest thoughts at this difficult time.

How's the cottage?
Hello, hello, Dear any news?
I was away for six months,
That's the reason why I'm calling
How will my cottage look when I came back?
Everything is fine, my fair lady,
Plumbing, hot water, Bell…
Loon couple in courtship rituals.
We do not have any surprises
Apart from a tiny thing so far:
An incident, a small mistake,
The two benches on the dock are gone,
Apart from that, my fair lady,
Everything is fine, everything is fine!
Hello, hello, Dear, what news?
My lovely benches are gone!
How did this catastrophe occur, please say!
Everything is fine, my fair lady,
You mustn't grieve from this sad occasion
We must tell you another thing:
If the benches are gone, it’s because the dock is too,
The rope broke and it floated away;
It crossed the Lake, to moor at the Wilsons’.
Apart from that, my fair lady,
Everything is fine, everything is fine!
Hello, hello? Dear, Dear,
I think I'm losing my mind
Oh, what a shock
Tell me the truth at once.
Everything is fine, beautiful lady
And we have good case
Let us wait for a good wind,
That will bring back your belongings!
