Not sure what to say?

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

Wow. So much tradidgy, so much love, so much strength, so much commitment, so many tears so many people that were touched, so SO so sorry! What a gift Lane has given all of us. The chance to be SO thankful, so strong and so determined to find the truth. He brought a class together the week before. He brought his family together so much closer. He brought communities in two different countries together. And so many friends old and new together to celebrate life. Not just his life but...

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.

Lane, you were my mentor, friend and someone I always looked up to.
I'll always miss you!

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.

I'm so sorry for the loss of such a kind, big hearted person. My heart goes out to his family and all his close friends. There no doubt in my mind that he will be missed by many!
