Dear Bates family Debbie, Lee, Larry and all of the family. We just wanted to express our most deepest and sincere condolences of the passing of Lonnie. I knew him in school and haven’t seen him since Shamrock High. I remember me and other friends stopping by his house on our way home from school sometimes hanging out and listening to records. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I just found out when I was looking at the Shamrock High website. I wished I’d knew about it where I could’ve been at the service. Again we’re so sorry for your loss, and we will continue to pray for you and your family. He was a good guy, easy going and funny too !! Just know that he’s at rest with our Heavenly Father, and you’ll see him again one day.
