Our thoughts and prayers are with you. My fondest memory of Aunt Louise is “Who wants an icecream cone?” She was a wonderful, funny and loving person.
We are unable to share in her memory but our hearts are with you all.
Love,
Chris Newell May and Family
Debbie and I are saddened by your family’s loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Hi Family of My Special Friend: I will miss her dearly. She taught me many things and always had an ear to listen and give advice. As I would work on the house.. painting or staining, she would always be out visiting with me and bringing me food. Her sausage & peppers were the best!!! She was a wonderful lady – I am sure she is happy again… being with Frank(that is where she wanted to be). My sympathy and love to all of you. Alicia, Melissa, Amanda and Flutie
I lived across the street from Frank and Louise on East Main St. Louise was always so friendly and loved to come over and talk.
Thoughts and prayers to her family.
Louise will always be in my heart and my prayers. Love lives on forever!

Dear Dr. Loscavio,
I can not imagine the depth of emotion that you and your family are feeling concerning the home-going of your precious mother, Mrs. Louise Loscavio . . . . but I will pray that the one true GOD bear you up under this sadness. May our Lord uphold y’all during this time.
Cordially In Christ,

Joe and Mary: We extend to you our love and prayers. We hope the wonderful memories you have of your family member will help you thru this difficult time. God bless.
To the Loscavio Family:
You may not remember me but I was a good friend of Tony’s in high school and spent a lot of time at the Loscavio home when I was growing up in Norwich. Some of my fondest memories were of dinner time and the mountains of great food that was always served. I extend my most sincere sympathies to the Loscavio family and want you to know the lasting impression your mother made on me. I was always made to feel welcome and part of the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
