I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Lewis personally. We met up on Ancestry.com and had a few conversations about our lineage and learned we were cousins in DNA match. His grandmother, Lillie Stallings Campbell was my great aunt. I'm very sorry I didn't have the privilege of meeting him in person.

We are sorry for your loss, but Lewis is now with the Lord. Wish we could be there for you, but My cousin passed on May 5, and the funeral is the same time as Lewis's. We are with you in Spirit. Love to the family

I was so honored having Mr. Campbell for my 7th grade teacher @ Maiden Elementary.
He was a dedicated Christian man and wonderful teacher.
Over the years our paths would cross and we enjoyed talking about the good old days.
Peace be with your Family,
Reverend Ronnie W. Parker
