In God I trust that Lon did indeed have a party with his passed from here family and friends and he knows more than we do that we remain connected always. God speed.
My dear friend, Mr. Lon, you have gone ahead of us on that path we all must travel to meet with God. There are no words to help us come to terms with your departure; I ask only that God welcome you into His mansion—that dwelling place where pain exists no more, and where you will spend eternity in praise. My deepest condolences go out to your family; I pray that God grants them strength and that they find peace amidst this sorrow. May God’s angels guide you to that eternal home. So be it.
