January 3, 1951 - December 10, 2007
His journey here on earth is over now and I am struggling to accept it.
Was he put here for a single moment? Will his actions change anything in this world?
He helped where and when needed, he planted gardens, he worked hard for this to be a better place even when he was so tired.
He offered love where it was needed and caring where it was lacking. He tended the earth and it's creatures with quiet humility.
He was quite possibly, the most humble and kindest person I have ever met.
It is my honor and privilege to say I knew him and to be able call him my friend.
Lonnie, you will be missed - more than words can say.

Dear Grace,,
So sorry to hear you lost such a good friend. It reminds me of a line I heard once, It isn't what you do or say in life but how you made people feel. Looks like Lonnie is at the top of the list in that respect.... Not often one is priviledged to have a frien like that.
((((hugs))))
