From the last of the Hunter boys, Lance Hunter.
Mom, even though you didn't have to you took three boys into your heart and called us your own. I was 3, Sean was 2, And Travis what's under one year. We had our ups and downs and moved around a lot Until dad went overseas. He went and you led Sean and Travis followed by me bringing up the rear. We travelled to and from and after many years we came home and settled down. Then you and dad had a baby boy we called him brother. He brought us happiness and joy even after he knew how his life would end. He still brought happiness and joy to us all. Now times have changed and now you are following Blakely was the leader now, he is bringing happiness and joy in heaven. Travis who is your grandson Preston Lee hunter, followed by Shawn, left behind her best friend, Kim and your grandson, Blaine. Now you mom, the glue to the three names, Garfinkle, Sposto, and Hunter, now it is time for you to follow and someone else to lead and I will be bringing up the rear. What time will come when I pass the job of bringing up the rear to my family.:
Diana, my wife and your daughter-in-law
Ashley your granddaughter, her husband Andrew, and your Great Grandchildren (Brandon, Lilly, Gabe, and Andrew)
Steven, your grandson, who has proceeded you, and his children, your great grandchildren, Dakota, Hailey, and Mason.
We will always love and miss you until it's time to follow

your loving son in Christ
Lance and family.
