Lona was one of the bravest gals I've
ever met. She was never afraid to try.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My memories of us when we were small children will be a comfort to me always. I will miss you Lona.

Lona was my friend and cousin. I will miss her always.

My heart goes out to Lona's family and and friends for their loss. I came to understand the unique person that she was during the many nights I cared for in her hospital stays.

It is with sadness that I write this because there is such a void with Lona gone.I miss the sparkle in her eyes,her laughter that definitely made people smile too,her kindness to others,and her willingness to please others.I was amazed of her extreme knowledge and the unique ability to put that knowledge into words and write a wonderful novel.I still wait for her to call, telling us she was feeling better and would like us to come visit her.Lona, I will always fondly remember you.I know that...

I remember she sang "I want my Lord to be satisfied with me" in our church years ago. She grew up attending the House of Prayer in Ferrum. I hope to see Lona again in that land where there is no death.

I still cannot believe Lona is not here with us anymore. I will never, ever forget her contagious laughter! She is loved and missed so much.
