Alana Lagerhausen

One of my memories of your mom is when I was young, she taught me how to ski up at Wilmot. I don´t remember the circumstances of how I got to tag along because I know it´s a lot of work to take a kid who´s never been on skis before out skiing. She took me to the bunny hills and showed me how to snowplow and how to hold onto the rope to pull myself back up. I got to ski a few more times with my dad when he was with the Boy Scouts and by the time I got to high school, I was able to join the...

Our hearts go out to you on the passing of your mother, may her memory be a blessing and a source of ongoing comfort and joy.

I met Alana at the Skunk Hollow Ski Club in Chicago about 1964. She caught my eye immediately being very pretty with a beautiful smile. We enjoyed many weekend ski trips to Boyne Mountain in Michigan and also skied locally at Wilmot Mountain. I remember the first time she came to ski Aspen in Colorado. She flew in alone because I was already there with my ski buddies, Nick and Herbie. That following week we all had the best time of our lives hanging out and having so much fun skiing together....

Please accept our sincere sympathy on the passing of your mom. We will be thinking of you.

Mary/Alana: How often we double-dated with you and Jim for picnics and snow ski events before you moved to California. We will always remember these with fond memories! Nick and Joanie Koplos

Sorry to hear of Alanas passing, I spent many a day through the years getting to know her in the alleyway behind her house, at first she would test me by placing her shrub clippings in my trash can in front of me, I figured her out very quickly it was a test who's going to own that alley, she looked at me and said is it ok and I just said yep just don't fill it up. Well that was all it took we became buddies, I earned the right to argue and debate her , if you could hold your own you had her...

I feel blessed to have met Alana around 1995. We had a common interest in that we both traded on the exchanges in Chicago. That bond only strengthened when she let me know she was the "sister" of my good friend Jamie!! (Boy am I naive!) Everyone´s lives are enriched through the people we meet and interact with. I am thankful for Alana!
