Lanny we will miss you. I will always remember our wonderful talks. The good news is you were a man of faith and accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Look forward to seeing you in heaven.
“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16 –
Lanny is one of the best Cousins anyone could have. You and Gaylen were a joy to me, watching you grow up and become such wonderful, God fearing men. I have truly enjoyed all the times we have spent together and so glad that we will have a great reunion in Heaven with all the family that have gone before us. See you then.
You were the best band teacher a student could ask for. You always had faith in my ability to play instruments and expand my skills to different instruments. You gave me knowledge that I could do anything with limitless possibilities!! Thank you for everything. You will be missed but always remembered and treasured.
I love you will miss you dearly Uncle Lanny. Give big hugs to everyone in heaven. Love you so much
Terri.
Lanny was a Christian man and the best friend a guy could ever have. He always thought of others first and never asked anything in return. He will be missed by those who knew his heart.
