Godspeed to the Bethea Family. Lance was a tremendous young man that was a pleasure to coach. His life indicated that he was the product of a Christ-filled, loving home.

If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane
I’d walk right up to Heaven
and bring you home again
but memories are just memories
and tears are just tears
and so i will miss you through the years
because without your smile or your laugh
it’s too much pain to carry on
Never forget yesterday,
But always live for today…
cause you never know what tomorrow can bring,
Or what it can take away…
*RIP Lance *

When we lose someone we love,
We learn to trust somehow
That a new life in a brighter place
Is just beginning now..
A place of grace and peace and joy
Beyond all time and sorrow,
Where loving hearts who part today
Will meet again tomorrow.
