Lewis was kind, considerate and caring. He loved his family and provided comfort for all he knew. We will miss you Lewis!
My thoughts and prayers for the family.
Daddy there is not enough words to describe how much I miss you, how much I love you, how much you’ve helped me grow, how much I appreciate you. I want to call you to cut up, and chit chat. I want to hear your laughter again. I know you can hear me now, but you are in a much better place. You have no more struggles. Give everyone a hug for me. I love you Daddy to the moon and back times infinity, and butterfly kisses.
