Rosie, Lainey, Lee and family. We are so very saddened with the news of Lou's passing. He was ever the gentleman and a generous mentor to Ted for so many years at Metropolitan. His being the godfather of our girls was such a blessing to all of our family. May God bless you who live with the memories of the wonderful gift of Lou to all of us.

Our prayers are with you. I did not know until last evening. My memories of Lewis in Rockville when I was a child are so clear. May you realize what a special season to be called home. Kenny & Susanne Brandt

Goodbyes are not forever

And nor is it the end

When angels come to call away

A loved one or a friend.



The empty place that’s left behind

Within this world we know

Reminds us just how brief a stay

We have before we go.



So when it’s time to bid farewell

To one we’ll dearly miss

Let’s just say we’ll meet again

And promise them with this…



The true gift is that love remains

Although we now must part..

Until forever and beyond

I’ll keep you in my heart.
