Mr. Abe, Donna, Louis, and Joe,

I am so very sorry for the loss of Louise. She was a "jewel" and such a special person. She loved her family and children very much and put them first at all times. She never missed a "beat" and I admired her for that. I would babysit for her when I was teenager and that's how I know how important family life and her children were to her. It seems like yesterday that you all stood in my wedding although it has been almost 39 years ago. Your Mom was a special person who has her place in heaven. I will miss her kindness, sweet disposition and graceful presence so much.

Abe, I know that you will miss her so much as she was truly your soul mate and a beautiful wife.

God Bless You All!

Joe,
I'm sorry about your loss.

"We need not apologize to anyone for depending upon the Creator. We have good reason to disbelieve those who think sprituality is the way of weakness. For us, it is the way of strength."

Keep trudging.
