Farewell Friend
My family wishes to say Farewell to our friend. We watch as Lionel transformed over the years, becoming more and more ill in his body but stronger in his spirit and love for the Lord.
Today we believe that through his works and belief, that he has repented his sins and accepted Christ as his Holy Savior. With these and God’s promises, I expect that he now resides with God

| Farewell Friend Father you called our friend today And like a loyal servant he did obey Reached down and took him by his hand Eased him up and with your gentle command Whispered the familiar word “Arise!” Even though the body does, the soul never dies Lionel, was tired and his body was weak Labored to move and could barely speak For a long time he missed his early morning walk Regretted not seeing gardens of flowers and birds that flock It was hard to watch him suffer in pain Every day it returned again and again No more sorrow or pain and he’ll see flowers and birds today Dear Lord you called our friend home and he did obey With Deepest Sympathy |
