Dear Wendy,
The good Lord needed another angel! You must rejoice and find comfort in the fact that he just beat you there! It has been such a long time since we've seen you all, but we were always touched by your presence. Luis was a great man and created a great family! Please carry on the way he would want you both to.

Our sincere sympathy to you. Many are praying for you and the entire Lizarazo family. To me, Luis was a very kind, honest and quiet man. The way I see him in my mind now is joyful, loudly praising and singing to the Lord....and that makes me smile. I hope you can smile too. Jim and I love you guys and we will be praying for you. We're just a phone call away.
