My deepest sympathy to the family and prayers 🙏 are with you all. I can remember all the times Alonzo would send encouraging scriptures to my son’s on Facebook! Just letting them know how much God loves them:). And O’Brian just told me the other day if he saw him he would give him some money to put in his pocket! Gone but not forgotten!! Love, Phyllis, Brian, Blake
Our friendship was like no other! We laughed , cried and prayed together! I’m not so sad that you are gone but that we didn’t speak and were so stubborn and I didn’t know you were gone, I thought we had another chance! I know you are rejoicing with the Lord! Sleep and rest my friend until we meet again💜
