Mom, I cant believe you have been gone a year, I still miss you like it was yesterday. I know you are watching over me! You are still by my side. I don't know if the pain will ever go away! You are a beautiful soul and I wish there were more of you in the world. I cherish the memories we shared! I love you so much!

You may be gone now almost a year but you are not forgotten. I remember your smile and your laugh. I remember good times and some not so good but we always made it though. Most of all I remember you. Sent with love!! Connie

You will be forever remembered thru family and friends. We all will miss you

I am very sorry I was not able to make it today. You have all been in my prayers and continue to be. I will always remember Lana for her gentle spirit and I pray that God will give you peace during this difficult time and that you have comfort in knowing that Lana is finally at peace with our heavenly Father. Love Rikki

May Memories keep our loved one near and help to ease our sorrows. Deepest Sympathy to Lana's family in this difficult time. Bud and Bette Braughton

Wow, where to begin...

In 1967 Lana and I found ourselves married to brothers. The four of us (including baby Kathy) became very close friends, and were together every weekend. As the years flew by, and our lives changed 180-degrees, we seldom lost track of one another. We've laughed, we've cried, we've tried to imagine what it would be like to "get old" and now four-plus decades later - I find myself saying goodbye to my best friend. It's been very difficult watching her go through the treatments that nearly distroyed every living cell in her very frail body. About a year ago she decided she'd had enough "treatments" and just tried living what she had left of her life. However, she didn't really know how to live for herself, she continued to worry more about the ones she loved and would ultimately be leaving behind. So on July 4th, 2013 I said fairwell to my beloved Lana. I know in my heart that she has finally been able to display the Angel wings she's always had with her.

Lana, I was probably at your house enough through my high school years that you could've claimed me on your taxes. :) But really, I always thought SO much of you. I thought Kathy, my BEST friend in the whole world, was so lucky to have a mom like you. I had so many struggles with my own mother, so I was at your house a lot. You were kind, understanding, giving, and always welcomed me into your home. You made me feel like I belonged because you knew how important Kat and I were to each other. I also have to admire your patience for putting up with all the drama of teenage girls! Thank you for being so wonderful to me through those teenage years and for giving me the greatest lifetime friend, my Kat.

My Aunt Lana lived a life of love. 1Corinthians 13 vs 4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Lana is a testament of this kind of love. 2nd Corinthians 5:8 To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I will miss Lana but rejoice knowing she is now at peace. Revelations 21:4 states God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. Love (God) has conquered death. Love you Lana

I would like to offer my deepest condolences for kathy and her family for their loss she will always be in your heart with lots of memories your friend always virginia

Aunt Lana, There are no words to describe the apprieation, thanks, respect, and love for you! What you have done for our family over the years makes you a saint! You will be deeply missed. It is hard for the family knowing you are gone and not being able to say goodbye! We love you and miss you dearly! You are forever our guardian angel.

I would like to offer my very deepest, heart felt condolences to Lana’s family. She was once my sister-in-law, yet more like a sister to my brothers & I, as well as a daughter to my parents. She will always live in my memories & heart. May she rest in eternal peace.

Mom , there arent enough words to say how much I will miss you! You are the strongest, kindest heart I know! I know you are an angel sent from god! You are the definition of love and grace! You are the best friend anyone could ask for! I know you are at peace now! You are my guardian angel and I LOVE YOU!
