Dearest Giovanni, Nicola and I are so very sorry for your loss. Please accept our condolences to the entire Iammarrone Family.
May she rest in eternal life. She will protect you all here on earth until you meet again.

Every time we bumped into each other, without fail, Luisa would remind me how proud she was of a painting I made for her when I was 11. She would tell me it was still hanging in her classroom 10, 15, 20 years later and how she looked at it every day. It always amazed me how she could cherish such a small detail from so long ago but she really lived for the « small » things; she found beauty and light in them. We will cherish the memory of such a kind and sweet soul that shaped the lives of children and adults alike. Our deepest condolences to all of you. May she rest in eternal peace and light.
My dearest friend Luisa,
How I will miss you.
Our conversations, our laughter, our projects together, and most of all, our sweet friendship.
Deep in my heart , I know there will be no more tomorrows that we can share, but yesterdays will always be there forever.
To have you as my friend, was the greatest gift of all. Love you ❤️forever and my you rest in peace in God’s loving arms.🙏
Maria Marchica
To Nick, Giovanni and family, and Luciana, our deepest condolences. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Dear Mr. Giovanni Iammarrone and family,
I was shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Mme Mercadante’s passing. She was one of my favourite teachers and my love and appreciation for her grew even bigger when she became my colleague at Nesbitt. I was lucky to have been taught by her in grade 6, and Mr. Iammarrone in secondary 4! She has taught me so much in so many different areas of life. I will cherish my memories of her in school and at my wedding for a long time.
She always spoke so highly of her children and her grandchildren. May she rest in eternal peace 🕊️🤍

I was so saddened to learn about the passing of the lovely Luisa. We worked together at Nesbitt Elementary and she was such a great friend and support to me. She lit up the room of every room she walked into. I will remember her kindness and laughter. So sad that she has been taken away at such a young age. May she rest in peace.
