Lance: Daddy and I, Jessica and Jacob and Heath were invited to Montgomery to see the Memorial Wall for all of the 12 officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. You would have loved it.....! We miss you so much and one of these days we will be together again! We love you so much.

Lance and I worked together quite a few times and I always enjoyed the time we spent together either working hunting details, management area hunts, night hunting and illegal hunting over bait or checking creel limits, size and fishing license on he Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers. I was with the Alabama Marine Police and we covered some of the same rural areas and we worked together whenever we could. Friends are rare and Lance was my friend and I still miss him. He wore his uniform and badge with pride and honor and I like that. Lance was a fine Conservation Enforcement Officer and I am honored to have known and worked with him.

I was privileged to work in the same district with Lance, although we seldom got the chance to work together. He was a fine officer with a bright future ahead of him. The day we lost him was one of the worst of my career, and I think about him every time I drive past the cemetery in Thomasville. Most importantly, he was a Christian man who witnessed by example, and I look forward to spending eternity with him.

Hey Lance, I was just remembering how when your scanner went off you would look at Joshua and say "come on squirt" and off the two of you went. You were such a good "big brother" to him.

Hey Lance:
I think about you every day of my life and remember the wonderful times we shared. You were not only a co-worker but you turned out to be just about the best friend I have ever had. I pray for your family----they are such special people. Jacob is such a fine young boy (you know that!!) and he is a testimony to the love all his family shared-----such a special family---what always admired was the fact that you had such love for not only your family but Jessica's family, as well. I think you had two sets of parents---they all loved you so. I go by your resting place often----I drive in sometimes and just reminise and thank God that I was privileged to know you. Many times I have almost decided to go into something else for a living but then I always think about you and I want to be the kind of person you were so much---you, my special friend, were (and still are) an awesome "guide" for me. One of the days we will meet again.

My dear Lance:
Another Christmas season is upon us. We think of you each and every day. To say that we miss you is such an under statement-----We hold you in our hearts until that day when we will see you again! You were and are such a blessing to so many people. Love you so much and until that day------
Love you so much,
Mama

Lance:
It is really hard to believe that you went to Heaven nearly 9 years ago. There has not been a single day that we have not thought about you. Jacob Lance spent two weeks with us when Jessica and Jacob came for Syb's graduation and he stayed. He is such a joy (you already know that, don't you) and is such a blessing to us. One of these days we will all be together again! Until then......................................

Yesterday when Daddy and I were at Harold Reid's funeral a man came up to me and said somebody he worked with was very close friends with you. He said his friend spoke very highly of you. Of course it was Keith!
Love you so much!

My friend:
I just want to tell you that I have really made a quality decision with my life. I have fought it for years--wanting to do my own thing---you know, living for me and doing what I felt like doing. Well, as of this day I am a new person and i know I know it is because of God but my friend it is because of you and your influence on me. To be honest with you there were times when things woul dhappen and you would just shake it off and I would think how in the world can he do that---he deserves to get even.
Thanks for being my friend and one of these days we will be together always. Thank you, Lance, for your life which is still living on i me and in those of us who were really "a little family of own." It truly was a special bond.
Thanks seems to inadequate.

My friend:
I thought about you on September 11. We were on our way to the district meeting in 2001
when we heard the news and you and the rest of us couldn't believe it. I remember you called your Mama and Daddy and of course, Jessie. Oh, that life could have been different but we are so thankfull for what time we knew you. We know you are not physicaly there with us but boy we knew you are there in our hearts. Think about you ever day.

Hey there, Lance:
Still miss you and find it hard to believe that it will soon be 7 years! We were so priviledged to have Jacob with us for a couple days last month and he is such a wonderful little boy (you knew that already, didn't you?) and we see so much of you in him. God is good!
My rose bush is blooming again!
Until that day-----------
I love you so much,

Look forward to seeing you once again!
