I did not know Lewis, but I am friends with his daughter Tiffany. I so appreciate the role Lewis played in Tiffany's life helping raise her to be the lovely person and great friend that she is. I know Tiffany loves her father and I will be forever grateful for his dedication and presence, even now, in her life. I am praying for the family. May you lean into the Lord more than ever and feel the peace only He can provide. Rest in peace, Lewis.

Lewis was a good man. I'm lucky to have known him. My daughter was lucky to have had him as a grandfather. His was a life well lived.

So sorry to hear the passing of Lewis. Amanda, it is very hard to lose a parent. There's not a day goes by that you won't think about your Dad. I will be saying lots of prayers for you and family. Sorry I can't make it to the Celebration of Life, but will be thinking of you.
