I so enjoyed visiting with your Mom on her patio. Her eyes lit up when she talked about her work and about living on the hilltop... her "little corner of the world." I will always remember her smile and her gentle presence. Sending you good will and good wishes as you celebrate her life.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Aunt Lee was always very kind and loving regardless of how much time had passed since I saw her last. I remember how much fun she had at my wedding, and I have some fun pictures of her on the dance floor! She will be missed. May she find peace in heaven and be welcome with open arms by my Grandpa Roy and Danny, together again. I pray my family also find peace and comfort in each other, thinking of you from California!
We all loved you so very much you were a wonderful person and a wonderful stepmother and a wonderful person with a beautiful heart you will be missed George W Lanning Jeff Lanning Gail Sugg Kathy Cormier The Sons and Daughters of Ralph W Lanning
