In loving memory of Louis Sullivan,

A visionary architect, an artistic genius, Your contributions to the world will forever resonate. With a keen eye for design and a passion for innovation, You revolutionized the field, leaving an indelible mark on architecture.

Your creation of the skyscraper, the majestic "vertical city," Symbolized a bold departure from tradition, Breaking free from the constraints of the past, You paved the way for modern architectural marvels.

Your buildings, adorned with intricate ornamentation, Exemplified the concept of form following function. Every line, every curve, purposefully crafted, Balancing beauty with practicality in perfect harmony.

Beyond the realm of architecture, you were a philosopher, Championing the idea that art is inseparable from life. Your belief in the unity of all things resonated deeply, Inspiring generations to view the world with a new perspective.

Your legacy lives on in the countless structures you conceived, From the iconic Auditorium Building to the Wainwright Building, Each a testament to your visionary genius, An enduring tribute to your unwavering commitment to excellence.

Today, as we pay our respects and bid you farewell, We celebrate a life lived passionately, leaving an extraordinary heritage behind. Your vision continues to shape skylines worldwide, And you will forever be remembered as a true pioneer of architecture.

Rest in peace, dear Louis Sullivan, May your soul find eternal peace, knowing your influence will endure. Your brilliance will forever shine brightly, Guiding architects and dreamers for generations to come.
