Aunt Nancy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Uncle Lou was very special to me. I have very fond memories of spending time at your house when I was young and the family reunions when Uncle Lou did magic tricks with me and all the kids. He loved to entertain the kids and we(my sister and I) loved him dearly.
Your Neice, Dawn (and family)

Catthy,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. As you know I lost my father last December. Dad's are so special as they generall set the example for the entire family. I know that you will miss him as I do my Dad, but celebrate that he is with the Lord and what better place could anyone be? Bless you.
