Louis Armstrong

Walker,

You and your family are in our prayers. I can imagine the heavy heart that follows such a loss and I know that God created us in a very special way, not so that we would feel loss, but so that we could feel love. Saying goodbye is not easy, but recognizing that our goodbye is not really a goodbye, but a so long for now and more importantly, His hello, sometimes helps our feelings of loss. Take care of yourself and your family and know that you are covered in prayer.

Louis, old pal. Barbara and I were unable to attend the memorial service for you on Friday. But our hearts were there. At 2 PM on Friday, we held our own service for you here in Vero Beach. We sent you an ocean air mail message via three helium filled smilly balloons. Hope you receive the message. You have been a good friend for many, many years. We will miss you, old buddy. See you in heaven.

Hang in there Rachel. We're glad we had the opportunity to share many happy times...

Walker, You and your family are in my prayers. May God give peace and strength to each one. Know I am thinking about you and praying for you.

Dear friends and family of Louis: Even though we have not been in touch, memories of our classmate through the years at Stanley Elementary and High Schools will alway be a part of our lives. Louis was energetic, kind and witty- and such a good student! Henry remembers him from the early days of sports with Coach Thompson! Our hearts are saddened at his passing. Our prayers are with you, the members of his family. Sincerely, Henry and LaVonne (Stroupe) Smith
