Mrs. Fant, I am sorry to hear about Louis. I think about the fun days we used to have every day at Pony Express Courier Corporation. I think about all the funny stories. Louis used to pick you up every day and was never late. He was such a good person. always neatly dressed and properly attired. he used to always give me tips on how to deal with life and corporate America. I cherished those little talks and am grateful to have known him. He was truly one of the few "Real men" I have known in life. maybe that is why he left us. God takes the best to use in Heaven. God loves you and I love you. Be Blessed. My e-mail is : [email protected]

Louis was a kind and knowledgable man. I will always remember Mr. Fant for his remarkable Godly spirit. There was always a smile on his face and a joke to be told when you greeted him. I always will admire him for that. We will all miss him and we hope to meet you again in Heaven after we have lived a great life like you did Mr. Fant. May the family and friends of Mr. Louis Fant find strength from God to carry us thru this tough time, but remember to keep your head to the sky and know Mr. Fant is ok now. No more will he have to suffer, no more will he have to be in any pain for he is with our Lord and saviour now. He wants us to live our lives in the spirit he once did so that we will see him again. We will see you later Louis, my Uncle & friend.

With much Love and Homage, your Nephew Nicholas Briley
