I just read about Lou's passing. I haven't seen him in years but I felt the need to let you know I was thinking about your family. My family (The Moellers) and the Cairo family grew up together during Jr High and High School along with the Francos and the Pasterskis. We have a lot of good memories from back then. I too lost my sister at an early age and feel for your family. Sincerely, Vicki Richards
