Just like my Grandfather, I never had the chance to know my uncle Lewell aswell as the rest of the family, The short period of time we had and the group of lost years spent away from him, he still accepted me in and showed me how true he realy was. Eye to eye we never saw, but he gave me some of the greatis advice that turnt me around for the better. Now i can never thank him for the few words that we did share.

I love you uncle Lewell, Live free

Lewell is my first little brother and my childhood friend and I love him dearly. I will always cherish our childhood memories. When we were children we would hold hands when we were scared. I'm holding my brother's hand as he crosses over to the other side. Goodbye Lewell. I love you. Ben

To me,his little sister he was Wooly Bear. The kindest,gentlest soul I have ever known. Saying a final farewell will be the most difficult thing we as a family. My thoughts take me back to four days in May of 2005. What a blessing that was for us all. I myself will treasure it for eternity. Lewell I love you and will miss you.
