Judy, I am so sorry to hear of your husband passing. 64 years is a long time and I am sure you are missing him. My prayers are for both of you.
My grandson First Communion is that day so I am sorry I cannot attend but my prayers are being said.
Your Cousin,

Lou was one-in-a-million. Always smiling and ready with a witty comment. He was a good friend of everyone in our family, especially my father. Some of my very best camping trips would have Lou sitting around the fire at the end of the day. Lou was a very rare and special human being and we are privileged to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
