RIP Mr. Lyons Love Gigi

Love You my brother; we have a beginning and an end. I will miss you; but my heart is filled with tears of Joy, because you talked about our mother every day since she passed ,because you missed her dearly. Now you may have those talks with her. There is no time on a Mother's Touch. Rest In Peace

We met in elementary school and remained friends like family throughout our lives. I called his mother my mother, him my brother, and Eloise still remains my sister. To the family, I am sorry for your loss.

We will miss you uncle Harold sending love and prayers to all my cousins from your niece and great niece ❤ RIP

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

You with God and parents now.
Be blessed in the resurrection.

It's been a long time since I've seen my friend going to miss him. My condolence to the family.
