Tony,
I was so very sorry to hear of Lana's death. Having someone you care about so much leave you when it isn't expected leaves a void that is hard to understand or explain. It hits each of us so differently. Know that I love you and that while it doesn't seem possible at this moment, the pain will ease. The hurt won't completely go away, but it will be replaced with happy memories and thoughts. Heather
