Dearest Sarah and Garrett,

I am so sorry for your loss. One of my fondest memories of your daddy is of his delicious sourdough pancakes he served to the Mescalero Indian Guides family while camping. What fun we had!

I also loved dancing with him at the Landman's Christmas party. What an amazing two-stepper. May you find strength knowing he's at peace in Heaven.

Sarah and Garrett our condolences to you and your family. May Godspeed be with Lonnie on his new journey. May Gods mercy and grace bear witness to those lives Lonnie came in contact with. May he be remembered for the love he had for you and may his life be a lesson for those who wish to grow from it. Life is short on earth but eternity is not. Let's all give thanks to God for allowing Lonnie to touch us even if only for a moment in time. Our Father who are in heaven forgive us all of our trespasses as we struggle to forgive those who trespass on us. Lonnie my friend rest in ever humble peace I call you my friend.
