Oh, Madge, this is exactly what Terry wrote. Horrible and terrible. Lou was a lovely, calming, devoted human being and a perfect companion to Claire. If you or anyone hears of any way to help Claire from afar, I know we all would hope to be there for her.
Please tell David thank you for his wrenchingly loving report.
Love, Alice

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 https://redscooterdiaries.com/, please have a look. You can read Lou's contributions under Confessions of a Caregiver https://redscooterdiaries.com/2018/02/21/confessions-of-a-caregiver-vol-1-first-comes-love/. 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 -- Madge Darlington, M.F.A. mmdarlington@utexas.edu mailto:mmdarlington@utexas.edu (512) 627-6038
