Read MoreDear Kirk & Elizabeth,
I was totally in shock to hear about Lana. I remember the many times we would visit when she would
be next door at her mother's. I remember Elizabeth playing with Courtney. I have many memories of
all of you. My heart goes out to both of you and Leslie.

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Lana. Lana and I started the same day at Inspirations. During our many conversations, she would share stories that were full of love and pride of her family--especially of her daughter. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Dio benedice la sua famiglia.
