Louis was certainly a fine and Good Christian man and I am proud that I could be called a friend. Didn't have much contact over his latter years but can recall his high school days and his many years of military service. My prayers are with Kay as she now travels through the rest of her earthly life without her longtime companion. My prayer is that GOD will continue to bless her as only GOD can!
