Deepest and most sincere sympathy to Mrs.Lewis, Marty, and family. I send this note with special thoughts and prayers, and on behalf of the entire College of DuPage community. I never had the pleasure of meeting Dr.Lewis, but, in knowing Marty, I feel that I indeed can appreciate his greatness, as reflected in the Lewis' wonderful son. It is my sincere hope that the entire Lewis family always knows the love and support we hold for them at COD. You all always have a home here, and in our hearts. God Bless you always.

Dear Mrs. Lewis and Marty,

My deepest sympathy at the loss of your husband and father. My memories of Mr. Lewis are of the smile on his face and the joy in his eyes as he participated in a positive and caring manner at our meetings. His love of his family and his involvement in Marty's education was obvious. When I hear about Marty's current success and future plans, I see the fruits of his labor and that same smile on his face. Marty, you have always been special to me, I will keep you and your parents in my prayers.
