These years without you are unbearable. I miss you so much. Talking to you everyday ok yelling some days. But no matter are differences or are fights at end of the day we always told each other we loved ea other. Oh Byron, today are youngest son is getting married. IAM not there as I still have to show them im on right track. My drug addiction really took me after you left. It almost killed me. IAM sober now I've had a couple relapses but im stronger now than ever. I know you see all I feel you today as you must know my pain. Oh father God stand close to me today. This is a test. I wish many things mostly you wouldn't of left me the bad guy. Or alone. Garrett is such a wonderful awesome man! Yes you did a good job but I to raised him. I gave him life I never left his side. I taught him to walk and talk how to ride a bike, climb a tree you were never there even when you were. Of across I didn't tell the world of this unlike you. You started the drugs I guess you turned out to be a better functioning addict. Drugs killed us. I miss you so damn much please please let are sons forgive me let them have one of there parents. They choose to stay with my mom leading I know you hate that if it wasn't for the money. I don't miss the money. It never kept me warm at night.
Thank you for listening you wife

Lanny, I just heard from Rosalind about your two recent losses. I am so sorry and pray that God will wrap you in his arms and give you strength for each day. I have thought about you so much during the years and always ask other family members about you and your family. Last saw Wanda and Paula at the reunions we have had. I remember so well our growing up years and being together as family. Keep your faith in God

Every time I think about you I just can't fathom a world without you. I have known you since the st michaels days. - a long time! In those days life was pretty hard for me but you were always so kind and I never ever forgot that. You went to a different school than I did after that but then showed back up in high school. Again not easy days but again you were genuine and kind. Went a few years after graduation, same thing. Byron I admired you, thought a lot of what you did raising your son and how much pride you took in that. The world is far lesser a place without you in it. You were the most genuine person I think I've ever known. I thank you for being my friend. I thank you for being such a role model dad to your boy. I thank you for encouraging my son when he was raising money to go on a mission trip...... Just so many things to thank you for that will come to me as time passes. Goodbye my friend. I know I will see you again one day!

Lanny, and Byron's sons, my heart aches for you guys...Byron was so hurt all these years with his mom's health issues, and he was so upset when she was so gravely ill..I haven't seen Byron since he was a very young child, but I do know he recently made a statement on someone's FB post about his mother being so ill..Hope with her loss, his grief wasn't so much he just couldn't go on, and Lanny I know you stood by Lee Ann all these years, and you are one good man..May the loss of your two closest family members be a reason to go on and see that the grandsons survive the loss...I feel like a relative yo you all because I went to school with the Greene's and Lee Ann and her sister..My prayers are that you all will know they hurt no more, and they both would want you to continue your earthly journey...God bless you all in this time of grief...

I offer my deepest sympathy to your family during this time of sorrow. The passing of a loved one is painful. So I'd like to share scripture that may bring comfort.

1Thes. 4:13-14 reads...Moreover, brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who are sleeping in death, so that you may not sorrow as the rest do who have no hope. For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.

Rev. 21:4 tells us this...And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

1Cor. 15:26 also tell us...And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.

Isa. 55:11 Jehovah promises...So my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without result. But it will certainly do that in which I have delighted and it will have certain success in that in which I have sent it.

I sincerely want these scriptures to bring hope and help your family endure.
