Mr. Lewis "Sugar" my heart is broken and heartfelt thoughts and prayers are sent with love to your family. I just heard of your passing today and am so upset to have missed the services. Too many memories of my mom, Kathy Galley, and everyone else driving those busses EVERYWHERE. The parties at my house, you and my Dad laughing and joking. You are truly loved and will be missed dearly.

My condolence to the Divinity and Tilton families. Louis was my Saints fan I could call doing the season- winning or losing. I will miss him. Praying for the family as you go through this storm. It won't be easy, but God will bring you through it. Cherish those great memories you carry in your heart with a smile when you think of Louis.
