Dear Cousins Larry and Sue,

My sincerest condolences to you and your families on the loss of your father. I have wonderful memories of Uncle Lou from my early childhood throughout my adulthood. Uncle Lou was one of the kindest men I have ever known.

The world will never be the same without him here but we will always carry him in our hearts. He will live on forever in you, your children and someday your grandchildren.

Your hearts are broken but take comfort in his love. May peace find all of you.

Love always,

Joann
