Dear Paulette, I am so sorry for your loss. I don't know if you remember me, but I spent a great deal of time at your house and you and your family were so kind to me. We worked together on the seventh floor 11-7, gee, that was back in the good ole 70's! I think of you often and was so sad to see that you have lost your best friend and husband. If there's anything I can do, please let me know. I pray for your peace and comfort.

Paulette,
We were so saddened to hear of Lightfoot's passing. We wish you God's peace and comfort. We met Lightfoot about ten years ago, when our brother passed away. He did not know us, but he came to show his love and support to our father (John Bryant)and that is a testament to the kind of person that he was. He will be greatly missed.
