Finally, the end has come! Lou passed away quietly this evening about 9:15 p.m. after his 18 month struggle with cancer! His family had been in and out with him these past 4 days and many friends had been able to visit with him too during this time. I read all e-mails and reported all calls to him and each time he greeted the notes / messages with smiles and tears. You touched our hearts in ways we never thought possible! Thank everyone for all of the prayers and support during this 18 month struggle! But...tonight, Lou moved onto bigger and better things and is now resting in the arms of our Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ. Praise be to God! I miss him already - but know that we'll be together again someday in heaven! He fought the good fight, grew, and became a new person in the last 18 months - all in good ways!
Tentative schedule of events for the funeral - visitation / wake will be at Sparkman Funeral home in Richardson TX probably on Friday evening with the church service to be held on Saturday morning - church announcement tomorrow! The funeral at the church will be followed by interment at Hillcrest Memorial Cemetery at Boedeker and Northwest Highway (by NorthPark mall) and the burial will be followed by a luncheon. If you're in the Dallas area, we hope you'll be able to join us in the celebration of Lou's life! If you're not in the area - many thanks again for all of the prayers and support - we wouldn't have made it the 18 months without you!!!
More info on the funeral and events tomorrow after everything is finalized!
Love,
Deb
