I am so sorry for your loss. We grew up in the same neighborhood and graduated together. I had lost contact with Lana until this reunion and it was so great to catch up. Iām glad she was well enough to join us and she will be missed. Prayers for all of you. Diane Pedersen Lippert
My condolences to Lana’s family. Myself and two other 1969 classmates joined Lana at Aaker’s Business College in Grand Forks in the fall of 1969. I have many memories of the time the four of us spent in the Aaker’s dormitory that fall. I was able to spend some time reminiscing about those days with Lana at our reunion last August. So happy I had the opportunity to do that. God bless. Debbie Charon Idland–Class of 1969
My dear sweet friend, I miss you so much. I am forever grateful for all the time we’ve had this past year and especially in August for the 50th High School Reunion. No more pain, no more sorrow. I know Chuck and your folks were there to greet you. Give them hugs and now you’re together again, forever. If you see my mom and dad, give them hugs too and tell them I miss and love them!! Fly high my friend. š I love you! š š
