December 25, 2018 at 8:37 pmMay God the Father embrace you and give you a peace that you never found in your brief years. May your children always remember your teachings and gain strength as they journey through life. You’ve returned to the place that many call home. Embrace the beauty and walk on light as you see old friends and family. Martin Page sang a song that fits you..House of Stone and Light. May your next life be fruitful and may happiness be your sunshine. May the Father applaud your good and pardon the not so good. You are now in the Paradise that God created for the good that pass. Let your spirit dance as you experience his blessings.
The best is yet to come.

December 25, 2018 at 10:49 pmTo my family, I pray that God comfort you (Leslie) and the rest of the family in your time of sorrow. May he wrap you up in his arms so that you may feel peace and comfort. Know that God does not do anything wrong. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Know that he is no longer in pain nor is he suffering. He is in a better place and we all will miss him so much we can only thank the Lord and continue to lift his name up. Love you sis/cuz.

December 27, 2018 at 9:20 pmYour body has been laid to rest. Surrounded by silence. Surrounded by Peace. As your spiritual being ascends you will travel to Mount Kailash, the most sacred place on earth. Your first stopping point. Be not afraid of the Being that you will see for He is of God. Take his hand and journey with him into the waters and in blessed peace Lonnie let those waters heal your soul and take you home. I’ve seen the destination that you shall see and I envy you for you have now entered the earthly realm that was designed by the Creator himself. One day on a far distant shore you and I shall meet once again and converse. Until then.
