Marty,Brett,Steph,Kyle and Chris...as well as all of the grandchildren who Lana adored and who adored her in kind...I could write a book about Lana...her kindness, her love of family, her tinkling laugh, her bossiness, her completely unselfishness, her very persona made me want never to leave when I was with her or talking to her....she was so genuine...so real. She will be greatly missed but she left a legacy of love behind in all of you and it will always burn brightly. She knit you all together with love and joy and kindness. She did her job here on Earth and did it splendidly. Now she's working on the other side until we all meet her again. Sending love and prayers and hope and faith to all of you!
Love Bob and Mary Bingham

Marty, Stephanie and Family, The news of Lana's passing came to me yesterday. A shock to me. When we both worked in the same building on Court Street we saw each other every day and had some good laughs. She was a lovey woman. Over the years we did not see each other but once in a blue moon and when we did there were more laughs. I will always remember Lana and her love for her family and life. Thoughts and prayers with you all.

Alan and I are saddened by your loss of such a giving and loving person. When I was in Bristol in 1964, she made me a "butterfly" birthday cake. I still have the photo and treasure that special memory of her. With our sympathy and prayers.
