    Lona was a dear-special friend and blessing to me. She was so Adorable-Loving-Caring. As I look over from the Starbucks drive thru and see where we always met outside for coffee, look at my coffee table and see the beautiful candle she gave me, going through our text to each other, going to the stores where we excessively shopped and had loads of fun, where she stayed with me for a week when I had surgery and on and on.
    My life will change forever in her absence until we meet again…
    Praying God bless and comfort all of the family.

    Sending heartfelt condolences to Jimmy, Jami and family. I am truly saddened to hear of Lana’s passing. I have not seen Lana in many years as I moved away from the area. Lana will always hold a very special place in my heart – she was an instant “True” friend from the very first day I met her. Lana was always so kind to me and my girls Elisha & Kellie. My heart aches for Jimmy & Jami during this very difficult time. I pray that God’s presence surround you both and bring you peace in knowing that a very special angel has arrived to her eternal heavenly home!

    I don’t know what to say right now. I’m speechless. I love you guys and Lona has always been a second mom to me. I have so many great memories with her and the family. Jami has been my best friend since 5th grade. I have spent many nights at the house for sleepovers and family events that they always welcomed me into. I will love and miss you like crazy. Rest In Peace and so see my dad.

    When I hear the term “Loved Fiercely” I think of Lona, She adored Jim, Jami, Grandkids and her beloved Bentley so much. I have no words that can lighten this terrible loss. I was very blessed to be able to call her my good friend. Life is just to sad sometimes and this is one of those times. Prayers and much love, Michele and Cliff
