LOUISE PIAZZA

I am so sorry to come across this obituary only now. When I was a senior (Class of 1975), Mrs. Piazza was also my English teacher at Ursuline Academy. I recently mentioned to my husband, John (also Sullivan), that Mrs. Piazza was a teacher I have always remembered. She was excellent, and I am sure I learned more from her than any other teacher I can remember. The writing skills I developed in her classes have served me extremely well over these many years! My daughter, who is also a teacher,...

This news came to me only recently. Mrs. Pizza was the best English teacher I ever had. She taught me how to write well. It carried me through college and 40 plus years in broadcast journalusm. I've tried to pass her wisdom onto my son. We both owe her so much.

I shall always recall the kindness of Louise and Paul when I was a younger, struggling teacher at St Albans, whom they often welcomed to their New Year's Eve buffet and festivities. Many subsequent years have only enhanced my appreciation. The Piazzas are a remarkably loving family, and Louise's generous and gracious spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Requiescat in pacem Domini nostri, dear Louise.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. Louise was a great friend and colleague. Her kind heart and generous soul touched many of us deeply.

The world has lost an amazing woman It was a true honor to know Louise. I enjoyed her playful spirit and adventurous ways. She shared so much of herself during our friendship. I will cherish our talks that usually included a sweet treat. I met Louise in her later years and I admired her strong desire for continued learning and meeting new people. She was often going to a class or training program. When others were settling in to old ways, Louise was inspired to learn something new. ...

I am deeply saddened to learn of Louise's passing. I knew Louise as a financial planning colleague and member of a peer-to-peer support group in the financial field. She always had great insights. The loss of Louise will be felt by many.

I'm another student from Ursuline Academy in the early 1970's who benefited from her wisdom and passion for excellence, all delivered with grace and good humor. My sympathies to the Piazza family.

Heartfelt condolences to the family. I echo what my Ursuline classmates said above. Much of my career success Is attributable to my writing ability, and it was Mrs. Piazza who taught me to write well. I still have the last paper I wrote for her my senior year; I kept it because her positive comments meant more to me than almost any feedback I've received before or since. As much as you will miss her, please know that her contributions continue to bear fruit.
