Mrs. Nichols & Family, I just heard about your loss and researched on line to verify it. Lewis was very special to all of us at Murray Realty. I had no idea that he was so sick. I'm so glad that I was able to talk with him in January. He wanted to come back to work and do light jobs as soon as he could. I have nothing but good memories of all he did for us. We miss him and hope that God gives you peace in this time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Lewis, as our children called him, did lots of jobs for my husband and father-in-law. He helped us with so many tasks, and I enjoyed it so when he was working. Our children loved him dearly, and we all thought so much of him. I grieve along with you, and feel blessed to have known your husband, father and grandfather. Praying for your strength, comfort and endurance at this time.
