Excerpts from the funeral sermon delivered by Lewis' nephew, Philip Hittle:
"It was a great joy to know Uncle Lewie is in heaven, because just a month ago he gave his heart to the Lord. He saw his need to be forgiven of his sins. His mother and father showed him how to live for God. We give Lewie back to you, Lord, that he may be with you in your presence. We look forward to the time when we shall see him again in heaven."
