Sorry to hear about Lionel. He was a true gentleman. Rip friend.
Lyonel had his life cut short here on earth , but he certainly left a powerful legacy from all the foot prints he left on so many hearts.
You will long to hear his voice again but if you set quietly and listen for him he will be tucked inside your hearts . If you long to see him , cherish your childhood memories . Someday you will see him again . He will have his wings and waiting with a set of wings for each of you. May God be with each of you ! I am sorry We can not attend the services but I will be thinking of you . Love you All !
Sorry to hear of Lyonell's passing. He was so young.I remember him most at Grandpa's and working with Jr.at the garage. Keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Prayers for all concerned in this difficult season of separation. May memories comfort you and give you peace through the Prince of Peace until that great reunion day in a land without sorrow.
