Our hearts are a bit empty this past week. Alonzo C Willey Sr. passed away on April 15th from Lung Cancer. Wayne was able to make the trip back to Maine to spend sometime with this Dad before he passed. This was such a blessing for Wayne to spend time, but also the hardest thing he has ever done. It was so hard for Wayne to be gone for 8 days and see the condition his Dad was in. Wayne would call me and just cry on the phone. Lon would say that he was hanging on until Wayne got to see him one last time. And that's exactly what he did.
We had the opportunity to take Lon to Yellowstone in 2009. He had lived in Utah for 25 years and had never been. He had always wanted to see the wildlife and fish and he got to do both. As we drove him thru the park he would get so excited to see the HUGE elk. This was a great vacation and to see Yellowstone thru this eyes was priceless!

I am so grateful to have Lon in my life and the wonderful son he raised.
He will be missed.
