Thank you, Madge, for these most informative stories about Lou. The “Confessions of a Caregiver” is poignant. And thank you, dearest David, for always being such a great friend to Claire especially right now. You are such a dear heart. Lou was a vital, lovely gentleman – such fun and so de

David has been in Scottsdale with Claire and Lou in recent days, and he's working with her and with her caregiver there to help her make arrangements and do all that needs to be done. Losing Lou last night was sudden and unexpected--it's good that David is there to help. Mike On Mon, May 13, 20

One of my favorite memories from the 45th was watching Lou and Claire together - so much love and kindness and zest for life between them. My heart is with Claire, sending love and healing. Thank you for sending resources for us to support Claire. On Mon, May 13, 2024 at 11:15 AM Madge Darlington
