I was a classmate of Lance's from Cocoa High. I found out today of his passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Lance.
Ellyn Dorfman Chafitz

Lance was a friend of mine in high school. In fact, we dated for a couple of years. I remember Lance as a very sweet guy, with a little bit of a temper! He was always good to me. He often came to my house to play cards with my mother and me. I'm sorry for your loss.

Classmates from Cocoa High just stumbled across this and we are saddened.  Our 50th class reunion is coming up (2014) and Lance will be remembered...and missed.  We all have our memories.  Our condolences to the family, Paul and Dianne Holland Trammell.

I am very sorry for your loss.  Our prayers are with you and your family.

Aunt Patti and Todd,
I am sorry to hear about Uncle Lance.  I am out of touch here in AZ/CA.  I was talking to Danni(my wife) about trying to find everyone on Facebook or try to come visit you guys.  I am so sorry that I am too late.  Please let me know if there is anything that I can do.

Love,
Robbie

My mentor, My friend, My second dad. I loved and will miss this man greatly.But Patty is like a sister. She is too young to be a mother figure to me. I love you and pray for you,Todd and his wife daily. Love Gary

That is such a cute picture of Lance, you and Todd - other than getting gray, Lance didn't look any different in May than he did in that photo.  We will miss him and we are so glad that we spent the time with you guys in May, that will always be a treasured memory for us.

Dear Patty,  Please know that God has been with you and has been a presence at you side through this time of grief.    Joan

Todd & Venecia,
It's wonderful that you two have found each other. We pray that you stay strong & take comfort in your memories of your Dad.  Our wish for you is that your journey through this life together is as happy and long as your Mom and Dads'.
Love,
Aunt Judy and Uncle Jim

Patty,
It seems like we're still teenagers & can't wait to see our boyfriends.  How this could happen so soon is just so wrong & heartbreaking.  In my thoughts & prayers it is & will always be "Patty & Lance".  
Love You,
Judy

Patty,
We wanted you to know that you are in our prayers. God bless you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. We will be thinking of you.

Todd and Venecia,
We are so sorry that your Dad has been taken from you when it seems your life is just beginning.  Your Dad will be with you in every thought you have, every decision you make, every triumph and joy, and each sorrow as you travel through this life.  Todd, when you cannot feel him with you, look in the mirror; he is part of you.  Surely he will be looking down on you with love and pride as you become the wonderful husband that he has always been for your Mom.
Love,
Tom, Amy, and Joseph Lane

Aunt Patty,
You are so strong in my thoughts.  I won't pretent to understand why or how God chooses to call us home. It is so unfair that Lance has been taken from you so early.  We are praying that during your time of grief you are able to feel our arms around you and that God will somehow give you His peace.  We have never forgotten all of the prayers and support that helped to steady us and pull us through when we could not see our on way.  Now, in your darkest time of need, know that we love you; and from far away we are sending you are prayers and most heart-felt sympathy.  I know that your heart is broken, and right now you cannot see your way through; we are here for you; to talk to, to yell at, to pray with, or simply sit and be silent.  
Love,
Tom,Amy and Joseph Lane

Aunt Patty, Todd, and Venenia,
I'm so sad to hear about Lance and am praying for your comfort every day.

Love Aunt Judy & Uncle Jimmy

Patty, 
It seems like we're  still teenagers & can't wait to see our boyfriends.  How this could happen so soon is just so wrong and heartbreaking.  In my thoughts & prayers it is and will always be "Patty & Lance".
