Jim and I were so saddened to learn of Lanny´s passing. He was a wonderful, loving and caring person. A conversation with Lanny was always a joy - his smile warmed your day and he was always so up beat. Lanny will spend his Christmas with his Savior and is now setting at the Lord´s knee visiting with the people who left before him that he has missed. May God grant you His mercy and peace during this very difficult period and keep you and your family in His loving care.
