Bob,
We are so sorry that we are unable to attend Joan’s funeral. She was such a great lady with a great sense of humor. You and Joan complimented each other so well. We will miss seeing her at Mass and Fridays for breakfast.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God Bless.

Thoughts and prayers are with you in this trying times
I have never met Mrs. Lewis but Kathy and I have had so many conversations regarding the wonderful wife and mother she was. When Kathy spoke of her mom, it was always with love and reverence and sometimes interjected with laughter. I wish I could have met her, I know we would have become friends.
Love and courage to Bob, Kathy and all the Lewis family. The way she lived her life has now taken Joan to her Heavenly home, May you sleep in PEACE.

God speed Joanie and God bless you Bob. You and your family are in our prayers.
