My fondest memories of Alonzo is when we were reunited as aunt and nephew, although we were living in different places. Alonzo was a precious soul. In the last two years of his life, we grew close and followed up by prayer and worship service by zoom. His act of surrendering unto the Lord was a genuine heartfelt submission.i shall always remember the countless hours we spent praying and worshipping the creator of life.I thank God, for allowing me,to share my faith with Alonzo in the latter part of his life. Now he has found a forever resting place with the King. Until we meet again! May the Lord give unto this family, His rest, peace and strength. Pastor Olivia Daniels

Affectionately known as "Lonzie", will be greatly missed on earth. However, he is now experiencing the glory and majesty of heaven. He's dressed in all white with a tailored made garment on, shinning like the bright morning star and smiling from ear to ear!!! Lonzie loved Jesus with all of his heart and if we make Jesus Lord over our lives, we WILL SEE HIM AGAIN! πŸ‘‹πŸΌπŸ™πŸ½β˜ΊοΈ -Bridgette Daniels, Virginia Beach, VA

Alonzo came into my life a year after loosing my Mother. He was a great a mentor and was responsible for my retail career. I am so grateful for him being a friend, parent and guide. Praying for all the family. Sending love and strength all the way from CT.

I thank God for the opportunity to talk and pray with Alonzo. I'm truly going to miss our times together. I pray that God for strengthen and comfort all of my family.

Heartfelt condolences to the family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Continuous prayers for Travis, Catherine, and your family
