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 devoted to our beloved Claire. Let us join in sending waves of love to Claire. It is a great comfort knowing David is there with her.
My love to you all, Joy

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 Diarieshttps://redscooterdiaries.com/, please have a look. You can read Lou's contributions under Confessions of a Caregiverhttps://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.edumailto:mmdarlington@utexas.edu (512) 627-6038
