In lieu of flowers the family asks that expressions of sympathy be made to Hosparus, 105 Diecks Drive, Elizabethtown, KY 42701, in honor of Lonnell's life.

The family would like to say a special thanks to Lonnell's doctors, nurses and Hosparus. and a very special thank you to John Barke and Shirley Merideth for taking such special and gentle care of her. This could not have been done without our church family at New Brandenburg Baptist Church and Bro. Tony Yates.
