Louis and I met in 2016 and my life has never been the same. He was my resident, but quickly became my friend. I loved hearing his stories and having him give my life lessons. I loved to make him smile even more. I’d make jokes and tease him and his smile and laugh brought me such joy. We talked every day, even when I was on vacations he’d call me. Luigi became another grandfather to me, he even had to approve my boyfriend, now fiancé. He always told me he wanted to sing at my wedding and I wish he could. I was honored when he asked me to accompany him on his Honor Flight and that experience is one I cherish dearly. I remember every minute of that long day, but my favorite was watching him walk back to his room holding Roma’s hand. They were the epitome of a loving marriage that could stand the test of time. I know their together again, and that’s a true blessing. I love you Luigi, and you are always in my heart.
