So sorry to see this. Even though the years separated us in miles I have always carried John L and his family with me in my heart. Such a blessing to me. I still have such wonderful memories of sitting around the Lewis family kitchen table - I can still hear the laughter. To Carol, Teresa and Jimmy - I love you always and forever.

May John L.'s memory hold and keep you as you go through this time of mourning. He's safely in the arms of our Lord, with those he loves who have gone before us, where eyes are bright and legs that hurt no longer! God bless all who are sorrowful at his passing.
