Luis is/was one of the best people that I've ever known --- always looking out for others before himself. He was a marvelous artist and a loyal friend. He was just getting to the point where he could enjoy life for himself. That must be what he is doing now. What we can take away with us from Luis' life is that we can all use a little help from one another. When someone we know needs a hand, help them out and remember Luis.
