"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run & not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31 Dear Judy, Chip & Adam, I was sad to hear that Lewis passed away last week. I know your hearts are heavy & that you will miss him so much but I also know how much he loved the Lord & he lived his life helping others & serving God. I was so blessed to know Lewis for over 40 years! But I also know that he is no longer suffering & is in the Presence of our Lord this very minute! He is singing very loud in the Holy Choir with his beautiful singing voice & praising our Heavenly Father! We will only be seperated this one time for God promises us that we will reunite with our loved ones in Heaven through all eternity! I look forward to the day when I will once again see Lewis in Heaven for all eternity! Love & prayers to you Judy that you will feel God's comfort & strength in the days to come . Chip & Adam, I pray for you both as I know you will miss your Dad but his legacy of love & kindness will live on through the lessons about life that I know he taught both of you. Love & prayers to all of you! Janet Temples Blanks
