Dear Louis and Autumn –
What a shock and what an incredible sadness this morning to see little Elijah’s sweet face in the Obituary column. What a beautiful child. I am so sad for you. I know your grief is tremendous. I’m sure you and Autumn were loving parents and had great joy in your little son. I remember you well, Louis. Just prior to your marriage, you and Mark Roberts worked on my kitchen remodel. I became very fond of you. You are a loving and caring person. My heart is breaking for you and Autumn. May your family and friends help you and be with you in just the way you want and need. I will keep you and Autumn, your loved ones, and little Elijah in my prayers. I pray that God will send love and comfort to each of you. I pray that God will give you the strength you need. I am so sorry for your loss of your precious little son. God be with you now and always.
Love and Prayers to you,
Anne Smith, North Asheville

Louis,
As my own son approaches his 1st birthday on Nov. 1 , I wanted to thank you for sharing your love for Elijah with me. I hope the love I share with Jacob stands as a testament of the love you shared with your son. I truly valued the short time we got to spend together and I look forward to meeting him once again in heaven. I am sorry I wasn’t able to be a better friend to you, your loss was more than I could handle at the time. I miss you both, and love you both as well. I hope time has helped to heal your broken heart, and that I have not reopened a wound. God be with you, brother.
