To Lee Family:

Lanette was so full of life and energy; it was so good fellowshipping with her last year. She was excited about her life and the things she was doing and her future plans. It was a joy being with her and her husband.

This is indeed a sad time, but we know that she lives eternally with Christ. She loved God and people. As you continue your journey, look to God, our Creator, and his son Jesus, for comfort and strength. Yes, you will miss her; when you love someone they never die; their memory lives within you. Lanette left a beautiful legacy!


Yours in Christ,
Classmate, W.L.Cohen

Dear Lee & Williams family,
My condolences and prayers are to you. I had the awesome blessing to be taught by Ms.Lanette and not only cooking lessons, but she taught me a life lesson. She taught me "Life have moments that push you back, but the goal is to move forward, and, you have the power to do so." she comforted me when I was in time of need and lifted my spirit. She was an awesome person and she was a true blessing to my life. May God the family under his wings and give you strength to move through th obstacles brought upon you. God Bless

Dear Lee & William family,
You have my condolences and prayers. Ms. Lanette was a precious gift, that was share with us(the Grow Dat Youth Family). She taught a important lesson, " live life without worries, because it only takes you a step back, but you can only depend on yourself and family to step forward." She comforted me in my time and need and I grant this blessing back to you. May God hold you under his wings and give you the strength to bear the obstacles brought upon you. God bless,

Dear Tony,

My family and I are deeply saddened I was over your loss. Your wife and I were dearest friends and I dare say she was like a sister to me. I will miss her very much.

I could always rely on her whenever I needed help, her jovial spirit, and jokes, made the situation light. Whether with a project or some mundane chore that she was always so willing to help me with. I came to trust her judgment and wisdom as well and her advice. She was always so thoughtful and helpful.

She was a great friend, and family to me and my family. I could never find a better and more caring friend.

She has left us with so many wonderful memories. I will cherish them forever.

In Deep Sorrow,

Rhea, Grandma Dee, Marilyn Tyler, Olga, & Raion

To the Lee and Williams Family: My heart is broken. Lynn and I shared so many wonderful times in college together.She would come by and see me when I was taking care of my parents and she would always make me laugh and put a smile on my face. She could definitely pick you up when you were down. I will continue to pray for the family. I will truly miss her, her friendship, her smile,her laughter and her visits. GOD BLESS!

November 26, 2012

You taught me how to drive, you made me laugh, gave me my first relaxer behind my mother's back :), and always welcomed me when I came home. Now, God is welcoming His daughter into His kingdom. I believe that He is saying,"Servant, well done!" Your jovial spirit still lives on. Rest, Auntie.

My wife you made me a man, growing close together we were one, with god by our side we were unbeatable. Our heads unbowed, we feared no man. Your battles here done, God needed you somewhere else. So peaceful you looked when you passed on to greater things leaving me behind.

You bid no one a last farewell.
Not even a last goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it and
only God knows why.
It breaks our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us many memories, your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you, you're always by our side.
