Lana lived a life of kindness, strength, love & grace. She has always been a steady & bright light in my life, always showing me unconditional love while being my life-line during good and bad times throughout our lives. Lana was only 8 years old when I was born, even though we had 5 siblings between us (she was the oldest and me the youngest), we both created a special life-long bond that I will continue to cherish forever. She and I were sisters but shared an amazing relationship more like Mother & Daughter. Our love for each other never changed, always consistent and strong even to her last day. Rest In Peace our precious Lana. Special prayers for Jozi, you were so very loved by your Mother and she loved you more than any words could ever express.
