My most heartfelt condolences to Lannie´s family. May God grant you peace of heart in the coming weeks and months - today is just a dream, but tomorrow brings reality - I pray that you feel God´s presence during this most difficult time. As a member of the faculty at Medical Academy, I worked with my friend Lannie since 2004. I will especially miss his sense of humor and cool demeanor. I remember I´d tease him because he usually ate peanuts and such for lunch, but he´d say, "That´s because I´ll make up for it tonight." Lannie was such a supportive friend on every level and was always ready to help me and others. I retired 3 years ago, and as a matter of fact, Id hoped to get permission to join my teacher friends for lunch at school next week.
I want Lannie´s family to know that I´ve received at least a hundred messages from our ex students, who are heartbroken to learn about Lannie´s untimely demise. Know that he was dearly loved by us all.
Lannie, you took the stairway to Heaven. We were supposed to live to be 90 and tell old people jokes at reunions, remember? Soar high, my friend, and watch over us. I will see you again, my friend.
