    Lou wasn’t just my big brother. He was my best friend. We first were introduced by our father in adulthood, bonded, and close ever since. Words truly can’t describe the pain I feel. His absence is felt, but his presence in my heart will live forever. God Bless!

    It’s hard to think of you being gone but you will never be forgotten. I can never question God but this definitely hurts. I will cherish our memories, our adventures, our history & the stories I could tell, your voice but mostly your smile. I will always love my “Big Lou!”

Michael,

First, let me start out by saying you were a God sent working with me for many years in preparations for my mom’s Homegoing Celebration December 7, 2024.  Even though this was our first time meeting in person, I felt like I already knew you.  Michael, you demonstrated  professionalism, empathy and, your warmth was surprising for me considering your role as a Funeral Director. Your attention to every detail, patient and support has made this process much easier for my family and me. I trusted you and you helped me find closure in a moment of great sadness, and for that we’re eternally grateful. I appreciate the time and energy you put into ensuring everything ran smoothly considering I reside in a different state.  Michael, my mom would have loved you and our family is forever grateful for your unwavering dedication and support during our season of grief.  May the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. (Numbers 6:25)

Valerie Tucker and the Family of Barbara Bell
