To the Family of Arthur Lee Lewis,

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Lewis for several years as a tenant of my mother. He was a very interesting man who was kind in spirit and had a joy for life and laughter. I was sorry to hear about his homegoing and want to let his son Ryan know that "all things work together for good," even this, "for those who are called of the Lord." So take heart and know that we are praying for the family. Sincerely your, "Catch the Fire" Christian Fellowship Church
