Kalen, thank you for telling us this sad news. Lani and my husband both went to Shands for their treatments and we compared notes. I had no idea she was that ill. We will miss her greatly, because she was a grand lady, full of positive thoughts and sentiment and we were excited to some day meet in Gainesville. Our sincere and heartfelt sympathies to you and the rest of Lani's family. Warmly, JaneP
