I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My sympathy goes out to you and your family.

Joni,
I was saddened to hear of your loss. I have prayed for you and your family over the last several months. May your wonderful memories bring you comfort and peace.

Joni, Mike and Leigh,
Lance and I went to BRHS together. He was always one of the coolest guys!! I enjoyed riding in his white pickup truck because not only was it cool, but you never knew if the gears were going to mesh. He was always fun to be with. He was so generous!

He addressed everyone as "hi, Bud" and I truly believed that he considered everyone to be his buddy.

He will be missed, but his memory will live on.

My prayers are with you.

Sincerely,

Joni,

His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
