LaNelle was one of my dearest high school friends. We worked together on the Yearbook and had so many memories. We spent hours laughing and entertaining each other. She was so smart and over the top creative. You were blessed to have her as a mother but her personality and character will live within you. Sending love and prayers.

Susan and Frank, and all the grands, Im so sorry for your loss. We were friends from the church nursery at Hardy. Kathy Walker and LaNelle and I were always doing things together all through the years. Then there were years we were separated due to distance and family obligations. We got back together at a high school class reunion about 20 years ago. She sure will be missed!
