I was lucky enough to be able to go through Stephen Ministry training together and he was my partner on many occasions. I was so blessed and learned a lot from Lou. You will be greatly missed. What a great comfort it is to know that this is not good bye that we will see him again, as Jesus stands on his promise of eternal life. I know when Lou went to Heaven he was greeted by God who was saying, job well done my good and faithful servant.
