We were friends and classmates in Colorado Springs I spent a lot of Saturdays making grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. I am sorry I was not able to search for her and her family years ago . Maybe her brother Dick will read this and remember the fun years.

Bob and the Sherman family my wife Sally and I express our deepest condolences to you. Lane was a dear friend who welcomed us when we moved to Colorado Springs in 1971. We were neighbors and our kids grew up together. Lane will surely be missed but she is now being blessed by the Good Lord in His presence.
