Grew up with Louise and Reno since they were best friends with my parents. Lots of great memories with them and Ginny and Rena. Just great, salt of the earth folks who lived, laughed, and loved life. Louise, Reno, John and Clara are now playing Italian card games, telling stories, dancing and drinking a beer or good glass of vino. Saluto !!
The world lost a very special woman yesterday and I will miss her dearly. Prayers for all and may her soul through the mercy of God Rest in Peace
Dear Ginny and Greg,
we are so saddened to hear of Luisa’s passing.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
We love you, hugs.
We are very sorry for Louise’s death and send our sincerest condoleances to Ginny, Rena and all the family.
We had the chance to meet her and Reno when they came to visit us in Italy and we have happy memories of those moments.
Thank you Louise for your love of family and strong sense of wanting to keep your parents’ ties, traditions and memories.
Daniela, Gianni, Carlo and Anna, Rosetta Leoni with Sabrina and Simona, Luigia Leoni, Bacati and Giola families and all the italian cousins.
We all pray for her. May she rest in peace in the glory of God.
Louise was the best aunt anyone could have. My father Joe and Reno were brothers and both served in the Phillipines during WWII. Louise and Reno married after the war. They were true members of the greatest generation, having made many sacrifices for our country. Louise and Reno bought their dream house on Cheshire Lane. Our families got together many times and I have fond memories of going to their house for Louise’s fabulous food. Louise was loving, hard working, patient, and selfless. She introduced us to the world’s most devilish jigsaw puzzles. She was special to me and I will miss her.
So sorry to hear about your Mom. I had the honor to work alongside Louise for five years at the Old Courthouse and Arch. She always saw the best in others and elevated everyone around her. She was a great person, colleague and friend. I am grateful for the many memories from working with Louise. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Rena and Ginny, I just found that Louise is no longer with us. She was my dearest friend for so many years & I had moved so much farther from her that I rarely got out to her neighborhood. We had so many good times together. I just never thought of her leaving us. I just know that she is in heaven.
My prayers are with you girls and her grandkids.
Love to you both …………. Carolyn Brodzin
