Marilyn,
My sincere condolences to you and your family.
I worked closely with Jerry at Zenith Administrators for many years. He was always there for me, and taught me a lot.
He was very proud of his family, and active in politics.
He encouraged me to visit him in Osakis, whenever.
I feel your loss . . .
GOD BLESS!

Dear Marilyn, Jackie, Pete, Jen, Jack, and Lantry Family,
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We send you our deepest sympathy and trust God will see you through this difficult time. A quote that has comforted us in time of loss is: "Those that live in the Lord never see each other for the last time." Your husband, father, grandfather is at peace and is surrounded by our Loving Father. May that knowledge give you peace today and in the days to come.
Love,

Dear Marilyn, Jackie, and Kathy -
I was very saded to hear the loss of your husband, father, and mentor to me. I fondly look back and remember all the wonderful camping and fishing trips we spent together at Smith Lake. As a young man growing up, Mr Lantry's heartfelt love, deep devotion, and caring for his family is one of the many things that I have carried with me. He will be sorely missed. Our prayers and love go out to you and your family.

To Marilyn and all the Lantry's:
I have so many memories, not only because he was family, but other memories - babysitting for his girls, fishing and boat rides at Osakis, Christmas parties, New Years Eve celebrations, and somewhere a memory of being the flower girl at his and Marilyn's wedding. He was also the person who got Karl started in construction so many years ago, for which we are so thankful. He loved his family and worked hard for the community he cared so much about. "I will always live within your heart and now can touch the stars and moon. Celebrate my life with yours". Our deepest sympathy to you. He will be missed.
