I met LaNita when I was 15. She was one of many Great Youth Advisors, in the Progressive Baptist District Association. She was always at every session "Serving The Lord With Gladness." May she rest well for her labor was not in vain. Sending Comforting Prayers to The Family.

Lanita supervised me in the 1970´s at Child Welfare. As a new social worker, I appreciated her guidance and support. I´ve never forgotten her influence on my life. She was an asset to the social work profession. I´m sure she will be missed.
