It's so hard to believe it's been 5 years since you left for heaven. As I get older, the memories I have of you and Brian being my best buddies warms my heart even more and the"shenanigans"we used to get into makes me laugh! I remember riding our horses all over the place....the fun we had with the Bit and Bridle Club...You were an amazing young man and my prayers are with you and your family.

When I think about my childhood, Lance and his brother Brian always pop up quickly. We "played" together almost every day...went on hundreds of horse rides....paddled in the boat a lot, and I made them clean their room....they were the BEST friends a person could ever have....I was blessed.
