Sorry to hear of Louie's passing. Hi to your family. I remember Louie walking across the gym at synod convention in Watertown to say hi to me.

He was the only person who got away with calling me Kimmie. Heaven has received a humble soul with a sense of humor. Blessings to the family. May your grieving not overshadow your happiness for him.
