To family,friends and loved ones of Lonnetta, as we knew her in high school. I will always remember her sweet personality and friendly ways all through school. In latter years I enjoyed visiting with her at class reunions. I've tried to keep up as she battled this awful,terrible illness. May she rest in pease. My deepest sympathy to you all.
