    Heaven has received a beautiful angel. Miss Lanette was was a dear friend to me, my husband, and especially our children Matt & Tori. Although we lost contact over the years, we will never, ever forget all the wonderful, caring, selfless things she taught us. We loved her and she loved us. We will forever have a special place for her in our hearts. She always talked about her children and grandchildren, they were the most important things in her life. May her light now shine through all of you. God bless and comfort each of you. Jenni & Bob Blackburn
