Uncle Louis, I miss you already. You were there to help me whenever and however you could. You were a gentle and humble man. The lord has always known what was in your heart and that is why I know you are in his arms now. Thanks for being in our lives and I will never forget you. Love always and forever.

Uncle Louis is gone, but I know he will never be forgotten in our hearts. Though we all may have questions as to why this happened, we should receive comfort in knowing that nothing happens outside of God's plan.

Love,

March 21, 2012

To all of my brothers and sisters, I know we all will certainly miss Louis a lot. But God will take away all of our sorrow. And he will comfort us during our time of grief. So continue to hold your heads up and keep each other strong. I love you all CURTISTINE...
