    Lou,
    Lisa, Haley and I send you our condolences. It is difficult loosing a parent. I lost my dad at 21, that was hard. I think it might be harder as we have more experiences to miss.
    I pray you and your family lean on one another through this time.
    God Bless my friend.

    Lou and Family,

    Fathers are a special gift from God and so it is difficult when He calls one back home. I hope you find comfort and peace in the knowledge that he is in a good place by His side. Please know that you all are in our hearts and prayers.

    With Love,
    Brian, Rhondi, Adam, and Kiersten Bates
