Sometimes a smile can change someone's day, sometimes five minutes is enough to impact someone's life. I had the pleasure of spending five minutes with Lanie and to watch her smile the whole time; that was enough to brighten my evening and to make me think "she seems super cool!". It's strange meeting someone for five minutes and feeling connected to them. I will never forget those minutes I spent with Lanie or the sound of her laughter.
My deepest sympathies go out to Lanie's...

I did not know her, but I live one block behind her. I feel so sad for this young family. May she rest in Gods hands. She will always be a guardian angel for her girls.
