Dear Aunt Janet, Mike and Jan;
I want you to know just how much I loved Uncle Lou. I was so excited to be the flower girl at his wedding, and I remember him at my wedding - he was so happy for me. He always made me feel special.
Lou and my my Dad, Jim, were such good friends and fishing buddies. I'm sure that they're together now. I will miss my Uncle and will pray for you.
May God bless you now and always.
