A Memo from Judy Ann Killion:

“ Uncle Lewis was a sweetheart. He was a very nice looking man, very handsome man. He was neat, clean, very well groomed and nicely dressed. Uncle Lewis and Aunt Orla lived down the road from us. I was raised around them. They were my Godparents. He was my favorite uncle. I loved him so much and when he died it just broke my heart. He was so young when he died. He died four days after my first daughter, Linda was born. He couldn’t wait to see her and he never did. “13707
