To my dear Lana, my thoughts will be with you as you being a loving lady, and generous, sorry I was the aunt to leave my wonderful nieces and nephews behind, but Lana, you were #1 to me and would always have Auntie Reggie welcome anytime. To Laurence and Rita I wish to send my sincerest condolences of losing a daughter (too young). I was happy you and Noreen invited me for my overnighter, I was treated Royally, on my last visit to Winnipeg in July 2013 for the Roeland's attendance for our 100th VandeKerchove Centennial celebration. - Posted by: Ms. Regina (Reggie) Henderson nee Roeland (My lovely beloved niece) on: Apr 23, 2014

I met Lana through her sister Rhonda when they both worked at Tim Hortons downtown Winnipeg. She was only 13 years old. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT SHE PASSED AWAY? AS I READ HER OBITUARY, sad to know she died, but very proud to see how much she accomplished in her life. My prayers go out to her family especially the children, because it is never easy to lose a mother. They will all be in my prayers, may thier memories of her life help you through the sorrow of her passing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Angela Murphy (worked with Lana and sisters in Winnipeg) on: Apr 23, 2014
