Dear Thomas, Dennis (Krista), John (Theresa), Karen (Philip), Joseph (AnneMarie), Marijane, Christine (Mark), and Donna,
I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your beloved father, Lou. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Lou was a remarkable individual, a loving husband, and a devoted father. His legacy lives on through the beautiful family he and Dorothy nurtured with love and dedication.
To the grandchildren Christopher, Leah, John, Gregory, Katy, John Michael, Julia, Gina, Jennifer, Amanda, Tess, Camille, James, Steven, Sarah, Marianne, and Michael, and to the great-grandchildren Frankie, Eleanor, Dotty, Emiliana, Siobhan, Bridgette, Phoebe Rose, and Sophia Theresa, my thoughts and prayers are with each of you. May you find comfort in the cherished memories you shared with your grandfather and great-grandfather.
Lou and Dorothy built their family on the solid foundation of faith in the Catholic Church, and their commitment to the Mother Church was unwavering. They exemplified the values of love, faith, and family, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered for generations to come.
As we mourn the loss of Lou, let us also celebrate the life he lived and the love he shared. May he find eternal peace and rest in God's Kingdom, surrounded by the company of saints and angels. May the memories of his love and the strength of your family bond bring solace during this challenging time.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God grant you the strength to navigate through this period of grief, and may the love and support of family and friends provide comfort.
With deepest sympathy,Fr. Valentine Rebello of St. Pius X Church, Plainview NY
