Thank you for being the best father-in-law I could have ever asked for. You helped raise my favorite person in the world and made him into a great man. I am going to miss all of our talks about food. And I agree with you that Whataburger definitely beats In-and-Out!! Rest well until we all meet again then I will bring the cheesecake and banana pudding.
Kevin,
Bradley and I are sending our deepest and heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dad. We know what a 'rock' he was to you and the deep impact he has left on your life. We are truly sorry that you are enduring this loss and wish you nothing but peace and comfort during this time. We send our love to you and Sarah and want you to know we are here if you need us!
Psalm 119:76 says, "May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant."
Tommy our family is forever indebted to you and Stella for always taking care of our son, Mike. You were a great man and we're so happy to have known you. We feel Kevin is also our son. We will always remember you and what kind of person you were. Such a great dad. Rest in peace.
Dad, you were one of the best men i've ever known and i feel fortunate that i got the chance to ever have you in my life. The world would be a great place if there were more men like you. You made a huge impact on all those who came to know you. One of the most gentle, kind hearted, genuine human beings i ever had the pleasure of meeting. You and mama Stella were my second parents and i'll forever hold you and your family as my own blood. I became best friend with your son Kevin over 30 years ago and it's no wonder i came to love him so much, because when i look at him i see you. Kev, Christy, Katie, Kadence, and Kaleb are all representative of wonderful parents and grandparents that you and mom made. Thank you for being a big part of my life and always treating me and my family with such respect. I love you always. See you on the other side with our creator and our savior.
Kevin and Sarah Lancaster and all of the remainder of the family, I wish you all peace and comfort during this rough time. Saying a huge prayer for all of you
