What a wonderful human being, husband, father and friend. This world will miss that great smile and handshake only Lance had. But the angels in heaven are rejoicing to have a true Christian in their fellowship. Marla and I look forward to seeing you later Lance. Our sympathy to Brucie and his wonderful family.

Henderson lost a truly unique "adopted son". Lance was a wonderful person and a total joy with which to play tennis. He and I partnered in some local tournaments LONG ago. We didn't always win but we always had fun!! May God bless and comfort Brucie, Gerald, Kelli and all of his family.

I spent a lot of good times with Lance through the years. I can say that I never heard him utter a bad word about anybody. He was always inquisitive about how you were doing and what your future plans were, a true gentleman. These last few years have been tough on him, but he was about as tough of a guy that there was, a true survivor to the end. He will be missed.
Good luck Brucie and family

Brucie,
My heart aches for you and your family during this difficult time. The journey you have had over the past months could not have been easy, yet it is so difficult to have to say goodbye. It seems there is never a time we really want to let them go. I read something that put it in more perspective for me. Death takes a life, but not a relationship. Ive held onto that and it brings me comfort and peace knowing that he lives in my heart forever. I pray that you and your family...
