Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Mezzetti family. We will miss Louise very much and always remember her for her sweet temperament. A very, dear lady who was a pleasure to be around. God bless you all.
It is with a heavy heart that I view the passing of such a lovely lady. Our paths crossed about one year ago as I visit Gladeview 4 days a week. She called me Mr. Florida (my car is registered in Florida) and I called her Mrs. Florida. We walked several times together as she spoke of her days in Florida. A few months ago I noticed that she was not out front where I usually met her. I went upstairs to visit with her and she asked for prayers that she would be able to get up and around again. God did allow her to get up and around again and now has called her home. RIP DEAR MRS. FLORIDA and walk those streets of gold…
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO JOE, DOLLY AND THE MEZZETI FAMILY. LOUISE WAS A VERY SPECIAL LADY. SHE WILL BE MISSED.
Although we never met Louise, she had to have been an amazing woman seeing she was Joe's Mom. It's never easy to loose a parent. Please accept our loving condolences. May God keep the Mezzetti Family in His care and may He rest the soul of Louise.
So sorry for your loss may she rest in peace.???? with love ann.
Don and I wish to extend our deepest condolence to the entire Mezzetti family. We only had the pleasure of meeting Louise at Erin and Chris's wedding and it was such a pleasure. Please know you will all be in our prayers. Don and Dianne Hart Evans, Georgia
