  5. Candle 8Lanita and I grew up as classmates, plus school bus-mates from the same community. From a young age, Lanita always seemed so smart, without even trying! I admired her achievement of Registered Nurse. Everyone speaks so highly of her kindness and care giving! In our early teens, I remember Lanita as a big helpmate, to her sweet Mother, in caring for her three younger siblings.

    For all these years, in my mind’s eye, I just saw Lanita giggling and having fun. She may have always been late; however, she would be looking good!! I am so sorry for your loss.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is the worse. I lost my Mom in 2016 and understand what you are feeling. Iโ€™m here if you want or need to talk.

  11. Candle 6I am so sorry for the sweet family! My heart and sympathy go out to all of you. I am going to miss my dear friend!!! We have had a lifetime of laughs together. We get the silly giggles every time we get together and I will miss that and her so much. I always kidded her with the statement, โ€œAm I going to have to buy you a pacifier?โ€ I will miss saying that and hearing her sweet giggle.

  12. Candle 8So sorry to hear about the loss of Lanita. I loved working with her at the Linden Hospital. Prayers for all of the family!โค
