Dear Sharon and LuAnn,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father. I will always remember Louie as a kind, considerate, and fun loving guy from our childhood. He was always encouraging to me as a musician and athlete. You were very fortunate to have him in your life for a long time. Again, I’m sorry for your loss.

Dear Sharon and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Brother Niko will always hold a special place in my heart. He and Sister Niko picked me up the first time I went to church and many times after.
RIP Brother Niko.

I wish you both the very best and am so sorry for your loss.
Rest In Peace Brother Niko.
