Lou, may God grant you and your family the strength and courage to carry on through this most difficult time. Know that you are not alone, God is with you always and loves you all. The last time Frank and I saw you and Eugene was at mass at Immaculate Heart. We never get to see anyone we went to school with but, it was good to see you both. God bless and take care.
