Anna "Louise" Giusti

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since Louise died. She is frequently in my thoughts and was a second mom to me growing up. Miss her!

Gina and Marina, I have the fondest of memories of your mother from Dyer Island. Being there for her first years and getting to know her and you (Gina through your time at the camp and Marina from when you all welcomed me into your home for a couple of New Years celebrations) was a privilege. Your mom's warmth and sense of humor still make me smile. I am so sorry for you loss.

Oh, man, so sorry for your loss. Louise was such a staple of Dyer Island, she not only fixed skinned knees and more serious injuries with calm and precision, she listened and mended our hearts and minds. I remember homesick boys passing through the infirmary and walking out with renewed vigor. Even if boys didn't want to talk -- puzzle building with Louise was respite from a hard day's work. Remarkable woman, lucky to have known her, wicked lucky;-}

Louise was fun-loving. Thank you for all the years, and all the boys you cared for, at the Berwick Boys Foundation. I always had so much fun laughing with Louise. Sending prayers and comfort to her family at this time.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I treasure the time I got to spend with her as a camper on Dyer Island. Your family is in my prayers.

Although I met Lousie late in life, my life was so enriched by knowing her. She had such enthusiasm and love for so many people, pets and activities. She loved her cats, and could talk about Callie & Gray- along with her "Newfie"- for hours. She was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. I will love and miss her forever. Like Frank Sinatra, she did it Her Way. X A

I have known Louise for nearly my entire life -60 years- and didn’t know her given name was Anna! Louise was my second mother and I will cherish memories of her as long as my memory serves...she loved people and loved to laugh. She never got caught up in image or material stuff. She will be missed...
