Throughout our lives we meet colleagues and friends who leave us with very fond memories. LuAnn was one of those people. She was an especially kind person, and a great pleasure to work with. She has been in my thoughts since we last saw each other, and I am deeply saddened to learn of her passing. My sincere sympathy goes out to her family and friends whose lives she so kindly touched throughout her lifetime.

Kevin,
My heartfelt sympathy to you for your loss. LuAnn was a kind person whom I never had the opportunity to have met but was a very close friend of my sisters. She thought of others during her own battle and sent lemon drops to my husband when he first started his journey through chemo. It was her kind acts and kind words that I will always remember. The nurses at the Cancer Clinic described her as one of a kind. May she rest in peace and begin God's work now.

Kevin, our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of LuAnn. I do understand the pain that you are feeling right now, but can only hope that in time you will find comfort and peace in her memories. Our priest said this at Dads funeral, and it was really the only comforting words that spoke to me. "Be not sad that she is gone but be happy that she is with God now, and will no longer feel the pain and suffering known to us". Our hearts go out to you at this difficult time.
