I have known Lana since I was a teenager. My Sister Debby studied the Bible with her and family and friends. I later had the joy of seeing Lana baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses and accompanying her as we talked to others about the Bible. But before all of that, she showed me the picture that I have now posted and pointed at that we were both in the same school and choir in 4th and 5th grade.She is in the first row second from the left. I look forward to seeing her healthy and young when she is resurrected to a cleansed earth as Jehovah has promised.

It’s so hard to believe this. Some of my best memories are of us all hanging out at the park and the twist shack. You were always the one with the sweet smile and kind heart. I wish I had seen you more through the years. I pray for peace and comfort for your family.
