To the entire Caligiuri Family - I just heard this news today.  I am truly sorry for your loss.  I count myself lucky to have known your Mom's incredible love and grace.  I will always remember her as a person of peace and steadfast faith.  A great example for many!


Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this  difficult time, our families crossed paths at Blesssed Sacrament.

To our Caligiuri cousins... we are so deepley sorry for your loss... Our continued thoughts and prayers are with you Mike and the families.

Gina, we haven't seen you guys in ages, but I was so saddened to hear about your mom. She was really a shining light in the old neighborhood. Peace to you and your extended family ...

Dear Mike and Caligiuri cousins, It has been a very long time since we have all seen each other, but I was blessed to see your mom and Dad at my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Neither of them had changed at all over the years. I even danced with both of them to a SLOW SONG! I will always remember our childhood sleepovers and family picnics. Mostly I will remember her sweet and kind personality toward everyone. She is one in a million. God bless her and may she rest in peace. Your cousin, Joanne Longobardi Denver, Colorado

My deepest sympathy to all my Cousins and especially my Uncle Mike. I'm so sorry to hear of Aunt Louise's passing. Her children and grand children are testament to the full and loving life that she lead. You are all in my thoughts.

Caro Mike e famiglia, siamo addolorati per la perdita della cara cugina Luisa, porteremo per sempre nel nostro cuore il suo splendido sorriso e la sua dolcezza. Preghiamo il Signore affinche' vi dia la forza per superare questo momento cosi' doloroso. Vi abbracciamo forte con affetto.

Dear Mike & family, don't know if you'd remember me, i was an old friend friend of Louise's jeanette,.(she would remember) and Cyd( maid of honor at my wedding) Shocked to hear this sad news- rec'd an e-mail from your daughter(Gina, I think) friend of my nieces, Dana & Dawn Parrino= she gave me your phone # to call Lou for old times sake, talk over memories, but i never called and i am so sad i didn't / this was only within a month or so. she was always on my mind since- too late- I send my sympaties to all. Her Parents were friend of my parents and now i see in this guest book a message from LINA= from Pescara, Italy
my papa was born there, that is probably how they were friends, However, my prayers gor out to you all. lost my husband a few yrs ago 57yrs married then and you & lou the same or more. Take care Mike, it's a long road. I send my love & memories to all- Carmen DeCollibus Santora

Dear Cathi and the entire Caliguiri family- my mom called to tell me the sad news. My deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. I have many fond memories of spending endless hours at the Caliguiri household. Your mom was a sweetheart. So nice and was always around. She always made me feel welcome.  My prayers are with you all.

Caro Mike siamo vicini a te e alla tua famiglia in questo momento così doloroso. Preghiamo per la cara Luisa affinchè il Signore vi doni la pace del cuore e lenisca la sofferenza.
Vi abbracciamo forte

Dear Caligiuri Family, 
Louise (or as I always known her as, Lu-Lu) was kind and always made me feel welcomed when I would visit for Christmas when I was younger. Her love and smile will always stay in my memory...she will be missed.

Fr. Caligiuri....please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your sister-in-law.  May the Lord bless you and your family members during this most difficult time. (St. Joseph University Parish)

Dear Gina and the Caligiuri family,     I had the pleasure of getting to know your mom during our UofB days. I was always amazed by her gracious, calm, sweet, welcoming personality while raising 10 beautiful amazing children. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this painful and sad time. I hope your fond, loving memories of her will get you through this time and be carried with you in the future.    
With all my love, Stacey

To all the Caliguiris, 
I'm so sorry for your loss. Nothing better than hanging in your kitchen with the Caliguiri chaos swirling, and Mr. & Mrs. Caliguiri sipping their wine, smiling and calmly enjoying their kids. Your Mom was so loving and kind. The Rahners loved her and will miss her presence in this world.

Dear Lisa, and Scott and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you today as you lay your Mom and Grandmother to rest. She was a happy and beautiful soul. It was so apparent in all the photos how much she loved her family and life. You have so many memories that will hopefully serve as a constant reminder of this special lady.

JoAnn, I am sorry for you loss.   Your Mom was a beautiful and kind woman.  I am so glad I was able to meet her.   Her beauty and kindness are part of your life and are reflected in the love that you share with others.   Praying for you and your family!  Much love,  Diane Sturmer

Dear Caligiuri Family:

I am saddened to hear about the loss of your wife and mother.  

Mrs. Caliguiri was a special person who always had a full smile and tons of positive energy.  I knew we had a wonderful and unique group of families on Wellington, and I really felt that bond years later when Mr. & Mrs. Caligiuri came all the way out to Pasadena for my wedding.  

My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family at this difficult time.

I will always remember Mrs Caligiuri with a bright warm smile and her kind words to everyone she knew..She spread happiness to all the children in the neighborhood.

My sympathy to you all. I graduated from East High School with Lou and I will never forget her 'always' smile. The slides reminded me of all our good times in the 50"s and 60's, etc.  Such a beautiful girl!  
Mildred Dams (Besecker)

Dear Caligiuri Family,
We are so very saddened to hear the loss of Mrs. Caligiuri, wife, mother, grandmother & great-grandmother. Even though we've been gone from Wellington Avenue for many decades, the families and friends that were made on that street are forever in our hearts. When Rosaire called and left me the voice mail of the sad news, my heart grew very heavy as it did when my father passed away. Mrs. Caliguri was such a warm, loving person that always welcomed all into her home. Your loss is felt by all who knew her, but we must remember the wonderful influence she had on her entire family and friends. Her warmth and love has been instilled in all of her family and is a tribute to the woman known as Louise Caligiuri.

We will always love and remember her.

She and the entire Caligiuri family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Darryl and the entire Lieser families

Lisa and Family,  Your mom was a lovely woman and I share your sadness with you and your family.     I am praying for you and know that your mom is in Heaven with the Lord.

Kathie Hilliard Pifer

Dear Caligiuri Family,

There was truly a special bond among all the families on Wellington Avenue, one which I have never encountered since. That is why I feel like I have lost a member of my own family. Your mom was indeed a special woman. She raised a beautiful family, instilling tremendous values in her children. She was also very kind and nurturing to all of us neighborhood kids. Although I have not seen many of you in more than a decade you are forever etched in my heart and I will carry those indelible memories of happiness always. God bless you and your mom.

Love, Bob

To The Caliguri Family,  Louise and my mother, Esther DeLeonardis Floss, were "cousins". I just spoke to Louise not too long ago  about her visiting my mom to give her some photos.  My mom and I were shocked and saddened to hear of her passing.  The few times I spoke to her, she was a lovely, gracious lady - beautiful inside and out. I just viewed all of the photo gallery - what a wonderful legacy Louise leaves behind. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  May God give you comfort and peace.  Barbara Ingraham (Sanborn, New York)

I'm sure she was proud of all of you and would want you to smile when you think of her.  I hope you will find comfort and peace in your memories.  

Jodie Joerg Andreoli (Columbus, Ohio)

We wil miss seeing Louise at our Silver Sneakers program.  She was an active participant and always had a smile for everyone.  We were new to the program so we did not have a chance to know Louise well, but after all we have read here and seen for ourselves, she was a fantastic person.  We are so sorry for your loss, but we know you have many good memories to help you through this difficult time.

Sorry to hear the loss of your mother. Though I didn't personally know her, I know that coming from a large family myself, she had to have possessed a sense of humor in order to survive.

May your sorrow be turned into joy knowing just that.
