I knew Laney for a number of years when she volunteered at the food bank. She and fellow volunteer, Betty, were quite the pair! 10:30 was coffee break time and I enjoyed sitting with them in their special spot to share the fun conversation. Laney liked a good laugh and she loved giving back through volunteering. She was special to all of us. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Dear Lainey, you were always so kind to the many generations of my family that were members of First English Lutheran and Gloria Dei. May your family be comforted knowing that you are reunited with Pastor Wingate. Peace to the Wingate family.
