So sorry to hear of the passing of my cousin Lewis. My wife Debbie and I have so many fond memories of both Lewis and Phyllis from summers passed when we would come into Georgia on ministry trips and spend many quality hours with them both sharing meals and visiting local sites. Lewis, you will be missed, but not forgotten. You will be waiting just over in Gloryland awaiting the arrival of family and friends who know the Jesus you knew. My prayers go out to all of the family in this time of sadness yet rejoicing of Lewis' homegoing. May God's peace and comfort be with you all.
