My sympathy to the Jenkins family on the passing of Lionel. We spent many days and nights watching PC Basketball and in basketball as in the rest of his life, Lionel was always thoughtful and full of insights. I am sure you will all miss him. God Bless.

To the family, although I don't know you my heart goes out to you during this time of sadness. I wish to offer my condolences for your loss. I know that the pain of losing a loved one in death is like no other pain we ever experience and is the most difficult thing to get through. May you find comfort and have faith in God’s promise of an earthly paradise where even death will no longer exist. That promise is found at Revelation 21:4, 5 which reads “And he [God} will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.†As wonderful as it is that mourning, outcry and pain will be no more, God’s promise even includes doing away with mankind‘s ultimate enemy - death. “And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.“ 1 Corinthians 15:26

To the Jenkins Family - Joan and I will miss a wonderful neighbor. The great times I had with Lionel when he would stop by the house and we would discuss what ever problems that we thought worthy of our "solving". I could always counted on an interesting conversation. He was a very positive person. He will be missed.

Many of Lionels PC classmates 58' like myself are unable to attend his funeral services but will always remember his zest for life, and extraordinary accomplishments as an athlete, public servent,and community activist. A lifetime of achievement that his children can be very proud of. May the "Big Train" rest in peace.

of our youth on Hopedale Rd. and Pleasant St.
Will always be with me.

To The Jenkins Family,
No words of mine can mean much now. Your loss is far too great and much too close. But for our Dominican community here at PC, in behalf of our alumni and alumnae, and in a special way my own name, I want to make known to you and your family, our deepest sympathy. At Mass and in prayer, Lionel is with us...so are you!
At a time such as this, nothing anyone says makes much sense. (Perhaps better than most, I know that.) But it is my hope, the consoling thought of a gifted Trappist monk might help.
Thomas Merton wrote, death is where the HILLS end, and the STARS begin.
Lionel's "hills" are over now. It's his time to be with the "stars" and their Maker. I pray that the deep,inner Peace. that thought can induce, will be with you and your family...especially now.
May Mary, the temple in whom God's Son became a priest, keep you near, in her care.
With His Love, and all mine,
Fr. John Peterson, O.P., 57 - (Providence College)
