LONNY, WE HAD A RARE AND SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP FOR EXACTLY ONE HALF OF MY LIFE. 22 YEARS. YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND, MY BOSS, MY ENEMY, MY FAMILY ALL ROLLED INTO ONE. YOU SHOWED ME WHAT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TRULY WAS, AS I ALSO DID FOR YOU. WE WERE TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE HAD ONE ANOTHER IN OUR LIVES. YOU ALWAYS SAID I WAS YOUR ANGEL. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I KNOW YOU WERE MINE. I NEVER HAD TO WONDER WHO WOULD BE THERE FOR ME. I KNEW IT WOULD ALWAYS BE YOU. UNTIL NOW. I KNOW YOU ALSO WORRIED WHO WOULD BE HERE FOR ME WHEN YOU NO LONGER COULD BE. I WAS HUGGING PAMMY AND CRYING AND SAID OUT LOUD THROUGH MY TEARS "WHO'S GONNA HAVE MY BACK NOW?". SHE CRIED AND HUGGED ME SUPER TIGHT AND SAID "I AM." AND FOR THAT I THANK YOU. ONCE AGAIN,YOU HAVE MY BACK. THE PEOPLE YOU MADE A PART OF MY LIFE HAVE GOT YOUR BACK ON THIS ONE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE WITH ME AND HELPING ME TO BECOME THE PERSON I AM TODAY. I LOVE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU WERE. ROMY

My most memorable memories of My Uncle Lonnie are from when I was young. I remember him coming down the stairs to Aunt Dorothy's Bar (Basement) dressed as Santa Claus for all of us kids. I remember his always cheerful personality, his laugh and his love of his siblings and all of the rest of his family! Uncle Lonnie was a man with an amazing heart! You will be missed by many! Love you and rest in peace! Please say Hello to Nanny and Poppy, Aunt Dorothy and Grandma Irene and Grandpa Roy for me!
