Lanny,
Since I moved to California in '88, I always thought of you as my childhood best friend and I still do. Thanks for being a part of me all these years and for the rest of my time here on earth.

It's now four years since Lanny left us. He is not gone because he is not forgotten: He lives on within us. He is truly 'Our Hero.'

Believe it or not you have popped in and out of my mind quite radomly as the months have passed. I hope that you are at peace and that your family is slowly continueing to heal.
I can't help but remember that little blond haired, blue eyed boy that used to thrill out of bugging his older sister and I or laying on the sidewalk in Verdun with both Wendy and you making shapes out of the clouds on a summers day when we were all really young. As well as all the fun we had at the party ringing in the New Year of 2000.
I would like to believe that we can celebrate your life and eventually stop reliving your passing.
I wish with all my heart for peace for your mother and father as well as all your sisters.
RIP Lanny you are truely missed.

Lanny, quietly remembering you today as we do everyday, taking comfort in knowing that we never truly lose the people we love and hold dear, because they made such a profound impact in our lives that they will continue to be in our every thought. You left an indelible imprint in our memory and you have enriched our lives by sharing your love, compassion, and humour for the time that we shared your life. Thank you, Lanny for all that you were, and will always be, to us. R.I.P. Heather, Adam, & Serena

Lanny,
Only you truly knew how much you meant to me. The world itself will never be the same without you by my side. You changed my life forever ... Love took on a whole new meaning when we were together and I will never forget that. I will always love you Lanny. You are not gone, just lost. We simply can't find you for now. Until we meet again save me a place close to you as usual. To Lanny "the one and only" who touched not only me but so many...I love you more than anyone can ever know and that will never change.... Stay Close. XOXOX

We are feeling this tremendous loss, of a "son", brother, mentor, and friend. He meant so much to all of us that we truly have a void in our hearts. He was part of our family for so many years, and brought so much joy to our lives. Rest in peace, Lanny, much love from Heather, Ryan, Adam and Serena and beloved "bubbles".

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory-
Odors, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone
Love itself shall slumber on.
-Percy Bysshe Shelley
Words alone are forever inappropriate to cloth some sentiment.
My infinite sympathies for your loss

God Bless you both, and your family.
