Lane, I feel that I've known you, since your mother and I would talk about our sons who shared many wonderful traits and were about the same age. You taught each other about love, as we have. In memory, Linda Lambert

Lane and I both surfed and kayaked out at Bolinas while we were friends at SWAS at Sir Francis Drake High School. We also ended up going to UCSC and partying a number of times there as well. My memories are of him full of life. That's how I will remember him.

Lane, I didn't get the chance to say more than a few words to you after meeting you at the reunion. I'm glad we met, but I'm very sad that a friendship-to-be was cut so tragically short. Peace on your journey, and my condolences and blessings to Reid and the rest of your family -- immediate, extended, and chosen.

The more I hear of Lane’s gifts to this world, the more I am touched and regret not being able to have opportunity to have had time with Lane of recent years. Life is amazing and the way we are brought together in times of trial and grief can be magical. Lane, rest well. Friends and family of Lane, comfort and love to you.
