You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me.

We are sending our sincere condolences to the DelMaso family. May your fond memories of Louise sustain you in your loss. From former Franklin PA residents. The DiMino Family
Nancy, Marge & your numerous family members,
I so wanted to get to come down to the funeral home not only to share in your loss but to see you again too. It is true when they say that you only see your old friends at weddings & funerals once you get to our age! The picture you placed in the paper really showed what a wonderful & happy person your mom was. My biggest memory was that even though she had a “handful” of kids herself, it never bothered her if you had a friend, then maybe Marge showed up with one, or even 2 or 3, all were welcome in her home & or her table. I””””m sure she will be missed by all of you. A bit under the weather myself, if you””””re back for a few days, maybe we can do lunch or something. Again, my deepest condolences.
So sorry to hear about Louise. Sugarcreek is changing so much and losing all of our original “Neighbors” Prayers are with you all.
