A very special cousin. I am so glad we kept in touch over the years. You always made me laugh. I remember the day you drove me to my own wedding. Joe, so sad for you and your family. Keep in touch. God bless you and your family.

Louie, Louie...how you could make me laugh...such a sweetheart, but yet so mischievous...you made everything more fun because of it - and we loved you all the more for it. You will always be with us Louie, for every holiday, every gathering, every shared laugh together, you will be there in our hearts. I send my deepest sympathy to the Ferretti family. May God hold you in his arms and give you strength. I hope you can find comfort in knowing he is at rest and you will be reunited with him some day.
