Uncle Lewis, I learned so much from you. Your boundless love for family, children, and animals effected me deeply. The empathy you felt for all of those in your sphere was a constant inspiration. Your work ethic and forthright communications. Thank you for all of this, and your greatest gift, the wonderful family which you bequeathed to us. I have no words to adequately express what you all mean to me. I'll miss you, every day.

Steve and Rhonda, May God shower you with His light on your lives ahead, and guide you through these difficult days. A dear member of your family has departed, but the memories of him shall never fade. Isaiah 41:10 say, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Even though your loss is immeasurable, keep faith and courage in knowing that God is always with you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
