We are praying as Paula and family are guided through this time by the comforting hand of God. He has used you both and we await the time we too fall at his feet, speechless and thankful.
What a God filled life Lane led. He is now home in heaven. I remember him putting together shoeboxes for us to fill at OCC packing parties. Prayers for you all.

Scott and Family,
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Lane, I know he had to be a man of great strength and integrity because I can see that in the family. It’s always tough to say good-bye, but remember the great times and now know your dad is creating new great times. God Bless all of you.
Sincerely, Todd and Jodi Hoke
