Louise was a cherished friend of my mother, Madeline Marenda Galassi. They were the same age and lived next door to each other growing up. They still continued corresponding by phone calls and letters into their late 80’s. My mother passed in November of 2020 at the age of 91. Hopefully they can now continue their heavenly friendship!
