Louis will be missed by a lot of people whose lives he touched through the word of God. Louis and Gail were with me when Bob dies in 1999. I am so glad to have been friends with them for 41 years. Love you Gail. You are in our prayers. I am here for you anytime. Friends forever.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I know this must be the hardest time. But God has Louis. He was a wonderful pastor. I watched him preach thru facebook. He and Gail have both blessed me with Gods word. I will be praying for Gods comfort over the family.
