Guest Book

Lonze Lee (Head) was the favorite cousin of my childhood. He was the oldest son of my mother's younger sister, Lucy. There were many days of laughter, playing. Fighting, crying and loving as only young cousins can do while enjoying life in innocence. We were the first to drop the "s" from the SOWELLS' NAME AS A COUSIN PACT. Loving memories to my very unique cousin.

Lonze Sowell was a great Bro-N-Law to me! I learned a lot about working on cars from Lonze. My most memorable moment with my brother-n-law was when I was a young boy and we drove from Dillon to Florence in 15 minutes flat! Great ride Brother-N-Law!!! RIP Lil Bro, -Andrew
