When I was very little I learned quickly that you were one of the most beautiful people in this world. I am so grateful to be your cousin and your friend. I have no idea where you are right now, but I know that death will be easier now. A charming, irreverent, and generous soul has crossed over.

Lou was an inspiration. His devotion to his art and passion for mentorship filled me with optimism. I met Louis in Miami five years ago. Since then his friendship and involvement in my life and career as an artist have been invaluable. I cherish that I had the opportunity to know Louis, however briefly. The mark Lou made on my life will never fade.
