The Wit & Wisdom of Living
With Huntington's Disease
From Louise [Lou] Wilkinson

Louise Anne Wilkinson, Lou to her friends, was a wonderful mother, an educator, an artist, a writer and a fantastic friend to anyone living with Huntington's Disease.
Lou, who was from Calgary, Canada, supported people living with Huntington's Disease from around the world.  Through her own personal experiences growing up in a family with HD, to later testing positive herself and having children at-risk, Lou helped hundreds of people understand what it is like, from the prospective of someone with HD.
 
We took this precious gift Lou gave us, thinking it would last if not forever, then many, many more years.  Unfortunately, God had other plans for Lou. 
 
Lou loved nothing better then to try to help anyone she could, from the very depths of her soul.  This site provides some of the writings by Lou that I had saved. All of the many websites Lou had on the Internet have been lost since her death.
 
I know Lou is smiling knowing her wisdom will, hopefully, go on helping families struggling every day to live with Huntington's Disease with courage, strength and dignity.
 
If you have an article or message that Lou wrote to you, that you feel would help others living with HD, please email it to me and I'll add it to this website. Email: Jean E. Miller
