Condolences
"We shared a life as brother and sister, separate in so many ways, forever bound by undying love. We shared a path in life bonded by our family name. Our tender years full of laughter and tears, sharing our innermost feelings, trying to sustain. Your tender heart, your soulful eyes, quietly fading. Our bond of love is more powerful than death. My dearest brother, your passing has left me numb with pain. You were a good man and an even greater brother. Your genuine smile and generous heart will always be remembered. You were the salt of the earth. Rest in peace my dear brother, until we meet again. I love you and miss you, Flo❤️🙏🏼"

"I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Louie from 8348 Buffalo. My dad rented from his parents. I still remember him as nice young boy. He always had good sense of humor and wanted to play baseball with us. He was a good friend and will be missed by all. Rest in peace Louie. Richard Perez"

"You were the best Uncle. You were always so kind and funny, and laid back, and I loved being around you. I always remember the stories you would tell about being in Panama and those huge muskrats you would see when you were on patrol, haha. I remember you doing 100 situps at night. I remember when we were at Turkey Run and Frankie kept getting out of the canoe and what you said to him, lol. I will keep your memory alive and I know you are in a better place now, with Tata and Papa, and with Uncle Frank and little Frankie, and Auntie Mary. I love you so much and I'm so sad you are gone."
