To The Entire Family,
I was sorry to hear about Lou. I loved his great smile and that funny little laugh of his. I remember all the trouble we used to get into when we were kids. Velma was always there to straighten us out. I remember sharing coffee with Lou and several cookouts at his mom's. He never had a bad word for anyone. I will sure miss him alot.
Love, Terry Oliver

Baby Brother, no words can express the loss I feel from your passing. What a pleasure you were to have in my life. We shared so many laughs and experiences growing up, including punishments, sometimes merely because we just couldn't stop giggling. Even when lif'e's circumstances or disagreements kept us apart, there was never a doubt in "our" minds of our love for one another as brother and sister. Even though watching you suffer so these past few months broke my heart, I was in awe at how courageous you were dealing with the pain and facing the inevitable. What a hero and inspiration to us all. It only made me admire you more. Your love and memory will be cherished forever.

To my Father In Law:
Always there with a smile
His heart went on for miles and miles.
Although your gone you wont be forgotten
This pain sucks and feels really rotten
Your pain is finally gone now
We will get through ours somehow
A blessing it is, thats what they tell us
The pain has been put on all of us
The clouds have started to part
The sun is shining in our hearts
We know your in a better place
But Know you never will be replaced
Tell Grandma we miss her very much
Hug and Kiss her a whole bunch
Be in peace dad and rest so dearly, you are free now
Keep us safe and sound
We will keep you in our hearts and mind
All My Love,
Your Daughter in Law

I'm so sad to hear about Lou. I can remember his sly smile across the table at some holiday. You all treated me right when we
would come to your mom's and she still has a special place in my heart. I miss her. Lou and I are the same age. It's just sad is all. Take Care, Sue Van Benschoten
