RIP Mr. Anderson.
I loved Louie. Crazy funny. Many forgot he even had a cartoon based off his life. Great guy. His comedic genius will be missed.
Jesus died on the cross to pay for us all to enter heaven. We must believe this and turn from sins putting out trust in Him to save us. Then we can enter HEAVEN.
