Please accept my sympathy. I got to know Louise while in high school, covering her desk when she was at lunch. Such a nice lady!

"Dear DeFeo Family, I was so fortunate to have known Louise and your entire family since I was very young because my sister, Julie, was her best friend, Louise was the most beautiful, caring person that I have ever known. During my high school years, she and her loving parents so graciously accepted into their home to wait for a ride home from my older brother. She was an inspiration in my life. May you find comfort in her precious memories." Cathy (Ussia) Lemire (Cape May, NJ)

My sympathy to Kathi and the DeFeo family.
Aunt Louise loved her nieces, nephews and sister-in-law, Marie - they were her life. One must find comfort knowing she is in a better place, joined once again with with her parents and brother, Mauro. Aunt Louise's suffering has ended. May you find comfort in her memory.
Unfortunately, I am out of town on business this week and, regretfully, cannot be there to attend the services. Please accept my heartfelt condolences - Judy

Dear DeFeo Family, I was so fortuate to have Louise as my friend for 38 years. She was a beautiful person, inside and out, giving, caring, totally accepting of people's differences. She was an inspiration to me. It's too bad that not everyone could be like her, as the world would be a better place. I know she loved you all very much. I will miss her so but she is now over her terrible ordeal. Please know that I am sending each of you my very deepest condolences. Pamela Teitelbaum
