God's strength + your trust = victory.
I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. PSALM 121:1-2

Every time we got together at family events, Louie's smile would be the first thing I would see. He loved our music (or he faked it well...HA!) Always felt a positive attitude from him. He will be missed, great guy.

To my Big Brother. When I think back, I immediately think back to us as kids and growing up on Pasteur Blvd with our many friends. Life was good, fun even though times were tough. I remember throwing the evening newspapers together and at Christmas, when I collected the payments, you told me to wear jeans with holes in them, so we would get tips. You would Christmas wrap empty boxes that we would carry in the bike basket to make it look like other people on our route were giving us presents. When we had collected enough money, it was off to buy hamburgers.
I remember the time you bought a Simplex motorcycle from their showroom on Carrollton Avenue. Dad dropped us off and I rode home with you scared stiff on the back with you yelling at me don't lean - don't lean! How you always loved motorcycles, and just one of our many good times, like riding mini bikes at Money Hill.
I always thought there would be more time. Dad always told us, life is but a blink of an eye, and he was right.
Rest well Bro, I love you.
