Ellie, my deepest condolences to you for the loss of the love of your life...Louis. He was such a kind man. Know that I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Love you my dear former classmate from DHS Class of 1960.

Please accept my condolences to the Family. I am so sorry for your loss. I first met Larry when we were in first grade at Sacred Heart School, but my fondest memories of him was when we played football together on the 1958 Kirwin High School State Team. He was a wonderful person and a great team mate. God speed, Larry. You will be missed.
Very sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great and very kind gentleman. To Ms. Ellie, my heart goes out to you and your family. If anything I can do, I'm just a phone call away.
Prayers and Condolences to the Trochesset family. It was an honor to know you and work with you. Rest in God's Eternal Peace Brother.

Please accept my sympathy at this sad time of your life. May God grant you peace and ease your sorrow.
As a grammar school classmate as far back as Sacred Heart, we all became close to each other. And, of course as we grew older, you and Elie united as did Mike (Murillo) and myself. However, I never forgot our times together at Sacred Heart and all the fun times we had growing up until we went on to finish our elementary and high school years and then parted our separate ways. Please be with you, Louis.
Ellie & family thoughts & prayers are coming your way. What a special guy you had in Louis! God bless you with His peace Love Millie Wild Meaney
