She was remarkably passionate, persevering, trustworthy and would stand up for her loved ones when they needed her most. She was the leading individual friends and family confided in at all times and a force to be reckoned with. Shylaine had a deep appreciation for rhythm and sound and truly loved dancing to music. She admired Sade, Alan Cavé and 90's music like Sonique. Shylaine was known to blast her stereo every Saturday morning, never missing a chance to belt out her favorite songs. Shylaine Louissaint was soulful, compassionate and possessed genuine love and care for everyone she encountered.
