I am sorry for your loss
Please accept the heartfelt condolences that Linda and I offer at this time of loss.
Louie was a good and righteous man who lived a life of selfless service. I well remember the frequent times we spent together in callings of service within the church. Along with others, I will miss him now in mortality; but he has moved further on into immortality… where we will one day meet again. My prayer is that each of us, and particularly the members of his family, may find comfort and peace in the knowledge that his life was well lived, and even now he is receiving the rewards so well earned.
I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Louie. I wish I could have been there. My prayers are with you and the rest of the family. I shall remember him always.
Love,
Sharon Bodie (daughter Orville Bodie)
