To the family of Lana,
I knew Lana through Curves. I adored her and was saddened to here of her passing. Loved hearing the stories of her children and her grandchildren. She's very proud of her children, of who they are and their acomplishments. She absolutely loves the grandchildren and always talked about the activities she had planned with them. Any child would be lucky to have her as a grandmother or for that matter a teacher. Loved her , she was always so upbeat, positive and so sweet. I'm sure she will be missed by many but now is in the arms of the lord.
