Paula, Ryan, Adam and Mrs. Holbrook,
We were truly saddened when we learned of Lance's passing. We will always remember him with love in our hearts. He was a beautiful person. He was a beautiful person because he let the light of Christ shine through him and on to those around him.
Though his body became weak and gradually failed him completely, he never let that stop him from sharing his love for the Lord. We know of none other more ready than Lance to step into Heaven and meet his Lord and his God face to face.
He has shed his wheelchair, his cane, and all that hindered his life here on earth. However, he will not shed a tear fore there are no tears in Heaven. The ones who hurt and grieve his loss are the ones he left behind. But take heart, the same promise that Lance has now experienced is ours too and one day we'll be together with those we love once again only this time it will be for all eternity.
May God bless you all in the weeks and months ahead.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I only saw Aunt Lillis twice in my lifetime, but along with Aunt Nina, I have fond memories of those few visits. Once in New York & once here in CA when I was very, very young. Even though your family may not know of me and my family, we are family and will keep yours in our prayers.
