My condolences to the family of Alonzo Williams. To my playmates Iris Denise and younger sisters, I think my fondest memory is of those sweet buns he would bake and generously share with us after our day long ball games in St. Mary Street. My goodness ! Big Hugs to all of you, especially Mrs. Bernice Wallace and "Uncle Bell" Williams.

San (my classmate and longtime friend), Ms. Theresa, Niecy, Trina, and Charles, please accept my condolences. I just learned of Mr. Lonzo's death and I am so saddened. We share s-o-o-o many memories from back-in-the-day. Your father was always so hospitable and kind. San, you have been on my mind the past couple of months -- now I know why. Please know that I love you and think about you all the time. Put your hand in God's hand -- he will give you all the strength you need to get thru this difficult time.
Love,
Iris Rounds Johnson
