    So very sorry Wil. It's been many years but Arlene and I so much enjoyed being neighbors to Lou (and you). After we moved I always enjoyed bumping into Lou on various occasions around town. Dad would also from time to time see Lou and bring greetings from him. I still fondly recall one time when we lived beside you, I was putting my truck up for sale and Lou asked me how much I was selling it for - he got me to raise my price and I think got me an extra $2000! You'll be in our prayers

    Wilma, sorry to hear of Lou's passing. I have nothing but many fun and positive memories of the both of you together. All of my visits with you both; regrettably not enough, were always welcoming on your part and always felt that I was treated as more like a friend as apposed to an obligatory relative. I know Lou loved you a lot and must say he was so fortunate to have you as his life long partner. God bless you both.

    Willy I am so sorry for your loss and so sad I couldn't be there at the funeral mass. I have been praying for you since the diagnosis of Lou's cancer and will continue to pray for you that God holds you tight as you grieve your loss. God bless my friend
