Christine and Joe,
Sending loving thoughts of your dad and hoping you find comfort with the many happy memories. Uncle Lou always greeted Kristin, Megan and I with such warmth and love. We all have many happy memories of visiting with you and your parents. I remember Kristin and Megan anxiously waiting at Grammy Rose's to go visit Aunt Elena and Uncle Lou and Logan! (you two as well)
Sending you hugs and many positive energies.
Susan, Kristin and Megan
