I know this is a terrible loss for all of you. Louise was absolutely one of my favorite people. Everything about her was amazing. From the time I was a little girl my mom talked about Louise, her childhood neighbor and friend. As we grew up we began to understand the deep friendship between our parents. I took many a shopping trip to Chicago with your mom and mine...nothing quite like seeing those two hit the stores. I learned how to shop from the two of them. But one of my favorite memories was about 14 or 15 years ago. Your mom and my mom took a trip with me to our vacation home in Hilton Head. We shopped, we dined, we visited many of my friends here and generally had a "girl friend's " trip. I felt honored to be in their "club". I am in Hilton Head for the winter so will not be able to share my sorrow and deep affection for your mom in person. I know you have many happy memories of life with your mom. May they bring you joy and comfort forever. You all are in in my thoughts and prayers.Faye (Marino) Becker

My most sincere condolences to the family of Louise Camosy. Louise was one of my mother's best friends from grade school on, until my mother, Carmella (Andreoli) Marino's, passing in September, 2018. Louise and Ray took many trips together with my parents here in the US and Europe, over the years. Now all four of them has passed on, and I can only imagine the fun they are having reminiscing, in Heaven. May God watch over all four of them now, and throughout eternity.Mona Marino
