We will always have fond and cherished memories of the very special "Mimi" that was a true family matriarch and lady in every sense. Our condolences and love to all of her family -- a family that brought her such comfort and joy.

Sorry for your loss. My mother always spoke about the great times she had on Franklin St. She went to Franklin School with the family. She was Millie Bonito(Tolla) from Hart St.
From what I remember, Louise was quite the lady.
