Dear Family, I wanted express my sincerest condolences and prayers for the loss of Lance. Unbelievably, I have been researching family history (I live in MN) and just tonight as I was searching for connections I came across Lance and Lowell, whose mother was Ada Lavaty.My grandmother was Ada's cousin, my mother, born in 1943 being a cousin or so removed from Lance. I realize this is a sad time for your family, but I just wanted to offer to any of your family, that might be interested a connection to Minnesota long ago. I have a fairly detailed history of the Lavaty family back to at least 1838.
My prayers are with you and hope that as this door closes that others open to you. May god bless and give you peace.
