To Anne & family.
I wanted to express my condolences to you and your family. They mean so much to me. I'm so sorry to learn of your father's passing.
But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.

To Elaine and Family
I am sorry but I was out of town when Lou passed but I wanted you to know that you are in my thoughs and prayers. Lou was a great support for me when I went through some very difficult times in my life and he never gave up on me. I was able to live a normal life because of his efforts and I will never forget him. I am happy that I was able to speak with him over the phone a few months ago.
God Bless.

Teresa,
I'm deeply sorry to hear of Lou's passing. He was a great inspiration growing up. He gave me my first set of golf clubs, allowing me to take up the frustration of my life. I am on vacation and my brother John called me of the news. I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend calling hours but I do hope that I could stop by and meet your lovely family in the future and pay my respects. I remember your dad and your family fondly. My deepest sympathies to all.
