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.

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.

Hi friends,

Sad news this morning. Lou Cassella, Claire Szabo-Cassella's husband and one of her main caregivers, died last night. David Ziegler is with Claire. He told me he would give more detail on this list later, but I could let people know. 

Lou came to the 45th Reunion with Claire so she could participate. He was a loving, gentle presence with us that week. 

If you do not already follow Claire's Red Scooter Diaries, please have a look. You can read Lou's contributions under Confessions of a Caregiver. The website also offers ways to support Claire. 

Claire, we are all sending you so much love. David, thank you for being there for both Claire and Lou. 

Much love to all,
Madge
