Lanis was a classmate and good friend since we were in the first grade. He was our senior class president and we all thought the world of him. I can still hear his laughter and see that mischievious twinkle in his eye. He will be greatly missed at our class get togethers. Such good memories we will hold close. Our prayers are with your family.
