Aunt Ruthie & Joey & Jason,
May you find comfort knowing that Louie (Guys-your Dad)is an angel watching over all of us. He will be with you every move that you make & every step that you take. When your walking along and you've got him on your mind.... Always remember he's walking in your foot steps only half a step behind.
There won't be a day that goes by that Uncle Louie won't be remembered. He will forever be in our hearts. Just reminisce on all the happy memories... All of the crazy things he would say & do. He is now @ peace. Until we meet again!
I Love you all,
Sirissa
