My prayers and thoughts are with the family. I did not know Mrs.Lane, she was a close friend to my brother and sister-in-law, Tommy and Valerie. Tommy had shared with me about their relationship. Jan StJohn, Ludowici, Ga

Dear Brother Chuck, I have been thinking about what the Lord might be thinking. I thought he must be very happy one of his children is with him and He wont have to see them hurt or have to go thru things. That would be how I would feel if my child came home. The loss is hard and prayers for you and your family will continue to go up to our Lord. Love Gail

Oh Miss Lane... There is so much to say but we both know the beautiful, loving person you will forever be in our hearts and souls. There is a reason I was welcomed into your family so long ago. Even in your passing, you remained selfless...you are an inspiration to everyone you have touched...and thank you for being the "grandmother" Tim did not have:) We Love You and God Bless....

I thought a lot of Ms. Ann. She was always thinking of others and showed the love of Christ in all I saw her do. May the light she lit in this world shine through all she loved. My prayers are with the family.

We thought a lot of Anna. She was always thoughtful and cared a lot for others. She often asked me how my daughter-n-law was doing. She will be missed. She was and will always be a blessing to have known her. Henry & Gail Klaiss
