We miss our Lou...April doed, too. Lou and Sunny were everything that good and caring people are; people who inspire and change lives just by being in the world. Much love for them eternally in my heart.

Lou was a quiet and unassuming man, with a special genius and humor which was spoken in his art. I was profoundly grateful to help match his wonderful creations to good homes with loving owners.
I knew they would become family treasures.
His work is still spreading happiness today.
I'll never forget him...he was a special gift to this world.
