Anne, April and family,
Will keep you in my prayers.
Thank you Anne, Lou, and April for letting me live with you when I first moved to California. And thank you Anne and Lou for letting me stay with you on my subsequent visits. And the special times at your house in Calumet with family. I always thanked Lou at the end of my visits for putting up with me! I will miss Lou. I’m sure Lou enjoyed the times Anne and I sang at the top of our lungs while making pasties – “Where or where, are you tonight……….” Well, thank You God we don’t have to worry where Lou is tonight, we know where he is – with his Savior. All my love.

You are right, Desi. Your Uncle Lou finally got that peace that passes understanding, right in the middle of the worst of it. Hope you got to see the service. Thanks for being such a special person. Your own walk through this with your son was such a help to me. Love, Anne
