My condolences to the family of Lorenzo. He was more than my lawn genie. He was a caring human. More than once my yard was cut with him waving away my tears of no cash, saying, "You'll catch up to me. God and I both know that." We stopped our cuts in the winter and now I know why we didn't see him to start up again. If anyone takes over the business please see the crazy lady on 24th Terrace. I am pretty sure I will cry but would rather carry on with Lorenzo's family than anyone else.

Dearest family of Lorenzo, I have known Lorenzo for the last 30 years as he has cared for my lawn service. I always enjoyed my conversations with him. He was a kind and soft spoken gentleman. We both lost our spouses within weeks of each other and shared in the sorry. I was terribly sadden today, when I saw Lorenzo's red truck i went outside to ask if he was ok cause I had not seen him in weeks. When I heard my heart broke. I know that he has received his reward, "good and faithful servant". Now he is with his wife and family. It is those left behind that hurt the most. My prayers are with you all. Thank you Lorenzo, you will be missed by the people at Leslee Lake.

Almost 40 years ago Mr Houston was my lawn service. He was the best. Always cheerful, thoughtful and kind. When I brought my first baby home he was always concerned the lawn mower would wake the baby and said he would try to come before nap time. He was just a special person that I had the pleasure of knowing.
May his soul rest with the Lord and May the promise of Easter comfort the family
