Bro. Lyons' humble adoration and service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ touched the lives of many. With deepest sympathy may His promise of eternal life sustain you during this time of loss.
Otis and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. May God give you and your family strength and comfort at this time.
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his'
saints." Psalm 116:15
We are sorry for the passing of Mr. Otis, Heaven gained another precious man, he lived a great Christian life, and he's with his Savior. No more suffering, no more pain. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Nancy and I are sad to hear the news about Bro Lyons but we also know where he has gone. He was truly a special person to us and a dear friend. We will always remember him.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Bro. Lyons. He was such a sweet and special man to all of our family. He drove us to so many church functions when we were growing up, and always took us out to eat afterwards. He always had time to drop in for a cup of coffee and visit with our family, even years later when he was no longer our pastor. Br. Lyons was a true example of how a Christian life should be lived. He will be missed. Prayers of peace and comfort for all of the family.
