To the entire extended Meneghin family, deepest sympathies on the great loss, but trust he is in a better place now. I will always fondly remember Louie's great sense of humor, and talking about the good memories of growing up in Dolton with my brothers, fishing, and hot rods. Rest in Peace, my friend.

In Deepest Sympathy as we part for this time from another of our beloved family members. Louie is greatly loved and will be missed, but all our loving memories of our entire lives together will not be forgotten. We are thankful Louie trusted in God and let it be known he had accepted His free gift of salvation, "for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (John 14:6).
And to us, Jesus says "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4). Phil & Debbie (Meneghin) Mullens & family
