My sympathies to the Lira family!!! I only met Louie once at an anniversary celebration in Numa. Really enjoyed meeting some of the family
Uncle Louie always made sure that we felt right at home. I will remember our trips to St iLouis to watch the cardinalCubs play baseball. He also made sure that he had salted peanuts there when our granddaughters visited. So many memories that will always be in our hearts.
Dear Christa & Pat,Uncle Louie and Aunt Edith made all of the cousins feel like they were very special. You might be too young to remember the Smothers Brothers television show, but they had a routine about which of them Mom loved best. I think all of the cousins might have had a similar discussion about which cousin was your parent's favorite. That is the way your parents made each one of them feel--as if each one was the favorite.One of the really good memories we have is of the Thanksgiving that your parents spent with our family in Houston when Jenni and Ron lived there. Jenni and I had so much fun cooking with them. Aunt Edith made oyster stuffing for us. If I understand correctly, that is something your family included in Thanksgiving meals. One of the trips to their house resulted in us bringing home three large rocks that are part of the landscaping by our front porch. Uncle Louie found them and dug them out with the backhoe. We have a memory of Uncle Louie every time we enter through the front door or sit on the porch.Sending you hugs and sympathy
Many years have passed since I visited with Louie but he was always smiling and welcoming. Sending comforting thoughts and prayers to Christa and her family during this time.
Lit a candle in memory of Louie Lira
We always enjoyed visiting with Louis when he visited in Florida. He will be greatly missed. Love, Bruce, Barb & Jeron Lloyd
Louie was such a joy I enjoyed him so much in Cardiac Rehab he told great stories and talked alot about Christa and Patrick and his beloved dog!! He was a joy!!
Louie was a dear sweet man. He loved his wife and cared for her courageously. He never really got over her loss. He always was ready with a kind word. God bless his soul. May he find eternal rest and peace. Fr. Bill
