Alonzo was a treasured friend for many years. A former co-worker at Lummus Industrial that I enjoyed working with! Alonzo honered me and my wife 22 years ago by performing our marriage vows under a big oak tree in Eufaula, Al. Heaven truly gain another angel! Our prayers are for his wife and family.

We are praying for the Family as you endure this transition. Rev. Reid was very kind to our Family when he pastored Tyson Chapel. That kindness and concern continued even after his pastoral appointment. Death is not an easy experience. That is not unusual or unnatural. It is alright to weep and wander why. Just remain in the faith and look to the source of your strength. Those who die in the Lord is only asleep. We shall meet again in the rapture, if we are God's prepared people. Know that God will lighten your sorrow, and bring you to a point of peace that surpasses all understanding. Sallie Echols & Family Tuskegee, Alabama
