I loved you dearly as a friend and lately you’re on my mind a lot. We did know how to party. I remember first meeting you at the Pump Room my dear friend. I know you’re still smiling that smile up in Heaven but you are still missed down here.

Mr. & Mrs. Paloma and family: I only recently heard of Louie's death. I am so sorry. I was his classmate - and his date to our senior prom. Louie was kind, respectful, and thoughtful - a joy to be with. I shall always remember him. My sympathy to you on your loss.

My brother, my friend, I will miss him greatly. Holidays and special occasions will never be the same without him. He always had a remark or story to go with the moment. On behalf of the Paloma family, thanks to all family and friends who made this difficult situation bearable.

My sincere and deepest sympathy to Louis family. I remember Louis from St Francis de Sales High School as a student, especially during his senior year. He visited the Guidance Office frequently. He was one of the most polite, generous and mature young men I have ever known. He was always fun to be around even though I was his Guidance Counselor. I recall many of students remarking that Louis was "a man for all seasons". He was well liked by everyone because of his friendliness, respect for others and generosity. Be sure Louis will be missed but always rememebered. I will pray for Louis to have eternal peace and close to his Lord of forgiveness and happiness.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I remember Louie, he's Lisa's older brother, and I remember how his face lit up when he spoke of his friend Karen Carpenter. Everytime I hear "Merry Christmas Darling" I remember Louie as well. God Bless.
