Susan, I am so very sorry for your loss. Lewis was a one of kind gentlemen and will be missed by so many. I can remember coming to church with my Mom and talking with the both of you many years ago. I am Dottie Ford's daughter...I will be praying for peace and comfort for you during this difficult time.

Mr. Thurston was my neighbor and good friend. He always told me to call him Lewis but I never did, he was always
Mr. Thurston to me and he always will be.
