Luisa was a brilliant and dedicated physician. She was an attending in the emergency room at Roger Williams Hospital in Providence. She then went on to work at an in-patient unit for chronically ill patients at Eleanor Slater Hospital in Cranston. Luisa was a talented artist and a voracious reader.

Luisa – one of the strongest and fiercely intelligent women I had the privilege to call a friend. A true woman of valor, she was always admired and will be sorely missed.
Sending my love to Bob, Daniel & Cady, Rebecca & Stefan, Mason and Ellis.
Proverbs 31:10-31
(10) A woman of valor, who can find? She is more valuable than pearls. (11) The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, and lacks nothing. (12) She bring good and not harm, all the days of her life. (13) She selects wool and flax, and works with eager hands.
(14) She is like the merchant-ships; she bringing sustenance from afar. (15) She gathers while it is still night, and gives food to her household and a portion to her maids. (16) She considers a field and buys it, from the fruit of her handiwork she plants a vineyard. (17) She girds her loins with might and strengthens her arms.
(18) She senses that her enterprise is good, and so her lamp is not extinguished at night. (19) She puts her hand to the distaff and her palms support the spindle.
(20) She spreads her hand out to the poor, and reaches out to the needy. (21) She fears not snow for her household, for her entire household is clothed with scarlet wool.
(22) Bedspreads she makes herself; linen and purple wool are her clothing. (23) Well-known at the gates is her husband as he sits with the elders of the land. (24) Garments she makes and sells, and she delivers a belt to the peddler. (25) Strength and dignity are her clothing; and she smiles at the future.
(26) She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. (27) She anticipates the need of her household, and the bread of idleness, she does not eat.
(28)Her children rise up, and celebrate her; her husband praises her: (29) ’Many daughters have attained valor, but you have surpassed them all.’ (30) Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman that fears God, she shall be praised.
(31) Give her of the fruit of her hands; and she will be praised at the gates by her own deeds.
