Dear Frances, Melissa, and Jennifer
Words can’t express the loss that you are feeling. I was myself sorry to hear of your loss. Lonnie was faithful to the Church at Community Baptist and always willing to help. I know that the LORD loves you as much as HE does Lonnie. My pray is that each of you are surrounded by the Love of the LORD and that each of you will feel HIS peace and HIS presence with you during the days and weeks to come. My you continue to hold to the unseen Hand of the LORD and may HE guide you always. Know that each of you will be in my prayers. Love in JESUS

LONNIE WAS A WONDERFUL SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER AT COMMUNITY BAPTIST CHURCH. AND LONNIE AND HIS FAMILY MADE ME FEEL LIKE FAMILY WHEN I WAS AROUND THEM. THEY SHOWED LOVE WHERE MOST FAMILIES DOESN’T HAVE. THEY TOOK ME TO THE GROCERY STORE TO BUY GROCERIES BEFORE MY DISABILITY STARTED. I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR ME. MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH FRANCES, JENNIFER, MELISSA, MELONIE, AND THE THE REST OF THE FAMILY. I LOVE YOU ALL.
