I have often thought about you. You gave me a wonderful start in the wonderful world of Shelties. When you sold me Blue and the Tri female, you started me out on a journey that has lasted 23 years...Thank you. I had moved to Rutherfordton from 1999 to 2002...you were so close...wish I had known. Ms. Betty you are in my thoughts and prayers...maybe our paths will cross again. Mr. Lewis...rest in peace...we will all meet at the bridge. My love always.

I knew you when you lived in Dothan, AL. When you raised and showed shelties. I can't believe that you and Betty have been here in Rutherford County all this time and I didn't know it. I have been in Rutherfordton since 1998. I lost touch with you and Betty when you moved from Dothan. Who would have believed I would move to the very town where you and Betty lived. I never knew until this day. I wish I had known, I would have loved to visit you and Betty. I will visit Betty now. Rest well Lew and we shall see you before long. God bless you and your family. I'll be praying for them.
