Dear Aunt Marjorie and Family:
Extending to you and your family our sincere condolences on the passing of Uncle Lennis. We know it is a bittersweet thing when our family here on earth is broken but we know our loved one is now without pain and suffering, and in the company of our Lord. We are thinking and praying for you today as you celebrate and remember a life well lived.
Love, Mary Ellen and Neil (Skinner)
Edith Martin
Dear Marjorie and family,
We want to send our condolences and love to you as you say goodbye to Lennis. We’d really like to be there with you but health issues make it rather difficult, so we will keep you in our prayers and hope to see you again soon. It’s been quite a while since our paths crossed, although we’ve run into your boys now and then. Always good to see someone from your family!
I was glad you put a picture in the paper… I never realized how much Eugene resembles his uncle Lennis, how much Gingerich is in him too… I always thought of him as an all out Bender! It seems as we get older we see more resemblance among family.
God bless you and we pray for strength for these days, for the service and many people to talk to, and all that goes with a “celebration” like this. He is our strength and comfort, always there when we really need HIm!
Love and blessings, to all,
Edith (Steckle) and Roy Martin

Dear Marjorie and family,
My heartfelt condolences to you all, may the good memories sustain you as well as the certainty of Lennis being with God.
I wonder if you are in the Blue Water Home too since I used to run into you in Exeter sometimes but haven’t for some years now. Hoping you are well. With fond memories of our time living on the Goshen Line………….Ena
