Sorry for your loss, Ivy – sending you and the family good thoughts.
Amy, We were so sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing. Sending you all our condolences.
So sorry for your loss. 🙏 Thinking of you and your family at this time. Growing up in South Devon I frequently visited the store, Louie Ho’s as we knew it, whether to call on Amy or to purchase something. Your mom and dad would always great you with a smile and hello when you walked in. They were amazing people. Till this day we still refer to it as Louis Ho’s even though it has changed names. Still consider it one of the few landmarks left in Devon.
Dear Amy,
Growing up in Devon I visited your parents store on a regular basis. Louie was always pleasant and helpful.
I’m so sorry for your loss; your father was such a caring and wonderful man. Thinking of you & family during this difficult time.
