Dear Fedora,
We are thinking of you during this difficult time. Both Stephen and I have fond memories of our days spent in Florida. Lou was someone Dad had such a wonderful time visiting with, and it was a joy to hear the laughter at the pool side when the two of them were together. Your Lou was a man who's smile and expression lifted spirits. Our prayers are with you.
Sincerely, Amy & Stephen Crocker

Dearest Fedora and family,
We are so very sorry to hear of Lou''s passing, but so thankful he knew the Lord and is in Heaven.
We have so many fond memories of being with you and Lou around the pool at the Surf Rider and going out to eat. We remember vividly Martin and Lou exchanging funny jokes, stories and bonding. We already miss Lou and you at the Surf Rider in Pompano Beach. Lou always had a good story to tell and did it well. It seems Lou always had a smile on his face.
We thought of you all today while the funeral was going on and prayed the Lord would give you strength and peace. We will continue to remember you all in our thoughts and prayers.
We look forward to seeing you, Fedora next year at the Surf Rider,the Lord willing.
May the Lord bless and keep you in HIS care and grant you comfort that only HE can give.
With much love, prayers, & sympathy,
Martin, Lucy, Sharon & Rachel
