I miss you Lane! I wish you could come home... when I think that I will never get to speak to you again, or be in your company, it hits me so hard that I can't breathe...

You were everything to me and now you are gone... now what do I do? and how do I do it without you?

I love you, Honey.... and I miss you so much it hurts!

Happy Anniversary to the love of my life!

I couldn't let this day go by without saying how much it meant to me, six years ago today, when you came into my life. I miss you more than words can say. I ache for the closeness and friendship we had. There is a hole in my heart and soul that will never heal.
I pray that you are resting peacefully and I look forward to joining you one day.
Soulmates!
That's what we are... forever!
True love never dies!
My love for you will always be a part of me... Happy Anniversary of our first date Baby!
Yours always,

A year ago today, time stopped when you left... I have missed talking with you, wine-tastings on Saturdays, Scrabble games on Sundays, and weekend trips away. Life is not and never will be the same without you. I will miss you and the joy you brought to my life every precious day that you were in it!
I will treasure those memories forever! Thank you Lane!
Your loving wife forever,

We had so much fun planning each other's birthday celebrations... surprising each other with our special plans for weekends away, romantic dinners and sweet moments frozen in time.
This year... I have registered a star in your name... your memory will live forever Lane!

Valentine's Day was always such a special day for us! We each knew how to make the other feel special with just a glance or a gentle caress... I will miss our Inn in St Augustine tonight! Our Valentine's Day tradition was so wonderful, I will cherish those memories always.

Lane, I miss you! I want to talk with you! I want to hold hands with you! I want to share my life with you!

I may not be able to have what I want... but no one can change what we had!

I will love you and hold you, if not in my arms, in my heart... forever!

Honey,
I miss you so much, it hurts so deeply... I wish I was there with you... You will be sorely missed at Dad's tonight for Christmas Eve! It became such a wonderful tradition for us... There will be such a huge void in a house full of our family and friends.
You will always be my husband and the love of my life. I long to see you again...
One day I will... I love you and miss you so very much...
Merry Christmas to my wonderful sweet husband!
Forever, Cynthia

Lane -
Today is Thanksgiving Day and so many things have changed from years past. I can't help but to remember when you boys were little and we had Thanksgivings with Gammy, Granndaddy, Aunt Andree, Uncle Bill in Florida. Then there were other years when we were in snow country (Turkey, Michigan) and had beautiful snowfalls for the day. Then, years later with your own precious little family, we would gather at Aunt Andree's for Thanksgiving and we would "pig out"! (Can't forget the "junk food" runs you and Uncle Bill made!!) Then we would have a bon fire and coffee. What wonderful memories. Those are very precious, special memories to me and I am so thankful to have them. I am going to Kim and Ellery's for Thanksgiving today, but you and your little family and Gammy and Granddaddy will be with us in memories,spirit and love.

I love you and miss you so very much.

Uncle Lane,
I know that I should have posted by now, but I just didn't know what to say. I finally removed your name from my messenger list today and it was the hardest thing I had to do. I just kept thinking you would buzz in and say "Hi Kiddo, how's it going?" But low and behold it never happened.
I remember so many good times visiting with you on our many trips to Florida. One occasion comes to mind when I was talking to Ma and Aunt Judi and you just started staring at me. When I asked you what was wrong you said that you could listen to me talk all day long with my "TEXAS ACCENT". You were always smiling and laughing. I miss you more and more every day.
I love you dearly Uncle Lane and I look forward to meeting you again in the promised land.
Love always,
Mandy

Three years ago today, I happily accepted the gift of your love and your last name and became your wife! We each had finally found and married our soulmate and best friend! I thank you for the wonderful memories we have shared! I will cherish them all of the days of my life! I followed through with our trip to the mountains for the changing of the leaves to celebrate this day! I have revisited places we have been and shared stories about us... it has been a bitter-sweet trip. Your family has been so loving to me... I thank you so much for bringing them into my life!
Tomorrow will be four months since we lost you... I am so sad not to have you here with us, but am so glad that the last words we shared were loving and true!
I continue to take life one day at a time until I join you! You loved me until the end of your life, I will love you for the rest of mine!
Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving man I have ever known!
I miss you and love you with every breath I take!

Your loving wife... forever, Cynthia

Today I was listening to the "Golden Oldies" radio station and they played "In Them Ole Cottonfields Back Home". Immediately a beautiful memory popped up in my mind. It was a Sunday afternoon drive, in our Studebaker car, to Crestview, Fl. for a rootbeer. Yours was free and served in a frosty, little miniature A&W Rootbeer mug! On the way the "Cottonfield" song came on the radio and you got so excited! You "jumped" up and down and clapped your little hands and "sang" along with the song! This is back in the days when the carseat hung over the front seat and you could stand up in it! (This was back in the "good ole days)! You were dressed in red corduroy coverals and a white, long sleeve turtleneck shirt and you had ringlets in your hair! (I knew you'd be a Mr. America - they just didn't have the "American Idol" then!!) But anyhow, that was the first song that you ever responded to on the radio! You use to "sing" with me and clap your hands - you liked music!! I have so many wonderful memories of you for the first 16 months of your life - then we started making memories with your new baby brother, Scott - and then 16 months later we made more memories with another new baby brother, Mitchell. So by the time you were 3 years old you had lots of company!! You were a very industrious little guy and helped with the "little" ones - brought clean diapers, patted them on the back, hugged them and rocked them in the rocking chair! I do thank you and your Brothers for all of my wonderful memories - and of course being "little guys" there were some memories that weren't as gentle as others as you got older! At times I guess you all thought you were Mike Tyson or The Hulk - you three tried it all, complete with the tears! But love prevailed!!

I miss you so very much but I just tell myself you are on "Deployment" and waiting for the rest of us to join you - "What a Day That Will Be". (One of my favorite hymns - it says it all).

I love you and miss you so much. Mom

Today marks three long months not being able to hear your sweet voice, hold your gentle hand and see your beautiful smile.... not a day goes by without thinking of wonderful memories of you! I love you with all of my heart! I lost my best friend! One day we will be together again... All of my love... Your wife, Cynthia

Today is the 5th anniversary of our first date! We knew then how special and beautiful our love would be. No one can ever take away or diminish the feelings we have shared throughout these five years. I will never stop mourning the loss of your sweet love, friendship, smile, laughter, music.... life! You are and will always be the love of my life! Happy Anniversary! I miss you Baby! Your loving wife, Cynthia

A month ago today we all came together to say goodbye to you and share memories of you with one another. I miss you with every waking second. I still can't sleep in our bed. Every morning I wake up and the nightmare continues... you're gone, but still I see you in every room. It hurts so much I can hardly breathe. I barely want to. My heart yearns to be with yours again. I love and miss you so much Lane! True love never dies! I'll see you in my dreams! Forever, Cynthia

Lane, it has been a month since you left us. The ache in my heart hasn't deminished. The loss of one's parents is difficult, but is in the natural order of life. But the loss of one's child is beyond words. There is a special bond between a parent and child that is unspoken - you just know it is real, never to be broken, even in death. Even though you were 51 years old, you are still my child, along with Scott and Mitch. Even though all are men, you all are still "My Three Sons". One day will all be together again. I love you dearly, Mom

My wonderful loving husband, Lane... I am truly heartbroken that we will no longer share our lives with each other. We were blessed to have the time we had together... I miss you from our morning cups of coffee to your sweet kiss good night. Your guitars are deafeningly silent now... I keep expecting you to walk through the door at any second or send me an email with the latest cool video from YouTube that you have discovered. You are the love of my life too, Lane! I will always miss you and love you with every beat of my aching heart! Forever, Cynthia

I am Lane's sister-in-law. We will miss Lane very much and the sorrow everyone is feeling right now will continue, it will get better but it will never go away. I never will forget the first time I met Lane. We all had good times when we would go to Mom's and Andree's. The memories I have of Lane will forever be with me and he will be greatly missed.

I am Ashley's boyfriend, and I did not get the pleasure to meet Lane before his passing. I have heard a lot of great things about Lane, and had the opportunity to review some material Lane had found interesting. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Lane is my Uncle. I am the daughter of his youngest brother. Although we only spent a holiday here and there, a few summers at the beach, and a trip to Hawaii with Uncle Lane and his family I enjoyed the time I was around him. I will miss him very much. I will miss his instant messages.

Mitch Judd

Lane, Mitch checking in Bro.

I am Lane's youngest brother and even though we lived a thousand miles a part we checked in most every day on Windows Messenger to see how each other was doing and families were doing. Although work constantly got in the way of our visits we managed to get bits and pieces in by the end of the day between -brb server down- and bb 1hour, another meetig". Yo Bro u there? ya give me a minute, how's c?
1mp outlook just crashed brb. 2 hours later C B ok how K? yo bro u there? What a day - gotta fight traf cya in AM yo? u gone? oh well catch ya 2morrow tell Mom we love her iffin u talk to her be4 me cya

Lane was much more to me than just a daily chat buddy. I decided to go for my Microsoft certs and I went full force but the long hours of study and isolation to study I was ready to give up but it was Lane that encourged me with his positive attitude and him being proud of me that kept pushing me to complete. Yo bro u there? - The summers we spent at our grandparents place on the river above Jacksonville will not be forgotton. The last memory I have of seeing my brother was the week we spent in Hawaii a year and a half ago. Those images of him are for ever burned into my mind. I still expect him to pop in on MSN, yo bro u b there? waz up? how b u today? how's K and the Gs? How is Lance doing? I just read his carepage - poor feller! I know u busy catch ya on the flip flop
Lane had a heart bigger than the state I live in. He was always concerned with others, and he was always concerned about my health.

As kids Lane would always protect me from my other brother, lol, but there was times I needed my other brother to protect me from Lane - come on "we were brothers" "we could do that" yo bro u there? Tell em I b right!

I could go on for days about my hero, my bro. God I loved him and I still love him, yo bro I'll b waiting, beep in anytime.

Lane - I'll catch up with ya one day, till then tell Gammy and Grandaddy we love them and I'll let your family know they can call on me anytime.

Yo bro catch ya 2morrow - cya

Dear Lane, I enjoyed you so much as a little guy and then as a young man when you would come to Anthony. I remember the rotel you use to fix and the junk (food) runs you and Bill would make, had to have those chips and French silk pies! I miss you dearly!
I love you, Aunt Andree'

I am Lane's Mother. Lane was the oldest of my three (3) Sons. I love them all the same - I had just a little longer to love Lane. When he was born I counted his toes and wondered where his feet would take him, what he would accomplish in life and whose lives would he impact. He did touch many lives throughout his lifetime and has left many memories behind. He blessed me with two (2) beautiful Granddaughters. He was very intelligent and always went beyond the call of duty for whatever he endeavored. I am proud and thankful for the time God allowed him to be with us. The measure of a life is not the duration, but the donation. I shall miss him more than words can ever say. Always his Mom.

To the family of Lane, I had the pleasure to work with Lane at NAMTRADET NAS JAX.,FL thru two of his tours. As the Training Specialist I received alot of my computer training from him. To this day, the knowledge,friendship,and the understanding he provided me will live with me for all my remaining life. Lane was always there when you needed help no matter what it was! I shall look forward to seeing him ,if I get to heaven, and will keep all of you in my prayers! Ron&Betty Mackie Sr. USN/USMC Retired
