I was talking with Aunt Juanita and she talked about how Lemmy as she called him always kept in touch with her.
An example of his character on earth.
Rest in peace, cousin

I only met Lemuel in July of this year in Ocean City Md. He told my husband and I he was getting tested for cancer. All during the week we would see him and talk to him. We have kept him in our thoughts and prayers ever since we said goodbye on that Friday. I thought for sure he would beat anything. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Lemuel touched our lives.
