Hello there my old friend
Not so long ago it was till the end
We played outside in the pourin' rain
On our way up the road we started over again
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
That's how it happened livin' life by the drop
Up and down that road in our worn out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good things and singin' the blues
You went your way and I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter or time
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
That's how it happened life by the drop
No waste of time we're allowed today
Churnin' up the past, there's no easier way
Times been between us, a means to an end
God its good to be here walkin' together my friend
Livin' our dreams
My mind stopped achin'
That's how it happened livin' life by the drop
That's how it happened livin' life by the drop
That's how it happened livin' life by the drop

What a tragic loss, there are no words that describe the horrible sudden of loss of life. I was blessed to have you as family and to personally witness the positive effect you had with others. You will be sorely missed.

I can't even look at your window knowing your not there.I'm glad we had these last months living close to each other. Thursdays at three, The Chew, always knowing you were there,nothing will ever be the same.I'm glad we were able to laugh and cry with each other. Love you so much Alana (aka Mrs. Kravitz) The struggle is over. Rest in Peace Your sis Terry

April 27, 2014

It was really sad news to learn of Alana's passing. Her and I had such a wonderful time in Old Forge a few years back sitting around and talking "old days" stories and really belly laughing about the crazy things that happened on Thurston Road. To Bobby and Allen my thoughts are with you both in these trying times. Try to hang tough and remember she told me how much you both meant to her. Mike, I'm truly sad for you because I saw how much you two meant to each other. Alana left me with quite an appreciation for her love for you,her smiles will be missed.
