Not sure what to say?

Well, Lonnie...It has been 6 years since we had to say goodbye. my memories of you are still fresh in my mind. You were my dear friend and brother and I felt so welcome in your family. Jeannie remains a dear friend tho' we don't see each other often enough. Wendy and her kids live with her on the Trinity Co. property and they get by.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you Jeannie and the rest of Lonnie's family. We met Lonnie B. and Tony B. through our son, Tony Boy, many years ago in Blue Lake when we lived there. Our 3 boys were little then and they used to call "Uncle Lonnie".....here comes the "Jesus Man" because of how he dressed and his long flowing hair. He never had a bad word to say about anyone or a mean bone in his body. He was the most loving and caring person I have ever had the pleasure...

Lonnie, I received so much from you over some 30+ years. I am grateful. I miss you, but I sense you are at peace finally. this candle is to honor your life.

My deepest sympathies for your loss, May the God of all comfort bring your family peace at this time of deep sorrow.
