We came to know Lou through our son. She introduced us to the Italian way of life.We loved sitting on her front porch and enjoying all the going ons of the "neighborhood".She introduced us to Italian cooking. She was so fool of fun;and so very loving to her Mike and Carol,her Justin and Megan and anyone she met. Lou, you will be trully missed;but you are in heaven now and you are at peace.

What a great lady - Auntie Lou! I'll never forget you and gram showing me how to make stuffed artichokes (though Lord knows you wouldn't actually eat them). No one could quite tease my gram or make Tony blush the way you could.



Your bond with Michael, Carol, Justin and Megan will never be broken. It was pretty cool to see the way you really loved them and they you.



You were the most fun and could get away with just about anything while making everyone laugh and having the best time doing it. We all need to take a page out of your book and enjoy life the way you did. We both will miss you very much. Our days won't be quite as bright but we sure will hang on to all the memories. Forgotten is something you will never ever be. Love, Michelle and Tony

I am so blessed and elated to have known and experienced such a truly great and fun-loving lady in Lou. In all the years I knew Lou, I never heard her ever say a negative word about anyone. And she never, ever complained about anything - even when she was so sick. I am deeply saddend by the passing of this tough and inspirational lady, but know she is in heaven with our Lord watching out for her beautiful kids(Mike and Carol) and grandkids(Justin and Megan).



Lou, I will always love you,



Stan

My heartfelt sympathies to especially Michael and Carol on the passing of one terrific woman...your Mom,Lou. I remember as a child all the fun and good times I was able to enjoy thanks to her. As an adult I was more able to realize just how fun-loving Aunt Lou really was. She will be remembered warmly and with great admiration as a person that truly could make anyone laugh and have fun no matter what the circumstances...

May the angels carry you back to your heavenly Father...so you can make Him laugh...

Imagine this ... your looking at a photo of the entire Cacciato family ... a fairly large family indeed ... who is that tiny, petite lady in the sexy pose up in-front? Why, of course, without a doubt, everyone knows that's Aunt Lou! You may have been tiny in stature, but your fun-loving spirit exuberantly inspired everyone. On behalf of the Andrews family ... Marilyn, Bobby, Joyce, Kathy (and their spouses and children) we will really miss you Aunt Lou! We will forever cherish our memories of you. Our deepest condolences to everyone who loved you and was able to ride the wave of your exuberance!
