With hearts laden with grief, we report the tragic news of Lana Ayla Smith's passing last night surrounded by the love of her family on her birthday. Though Lana was only 34 years old, her influence goes much beyond the time allotted.
Lana's life was rich in love, faith, and selfless devotion even if her time on earth was far too brief. She was a woman whose life revolved around her four lovely children, whose strength came from prayer, whose heart was fixed in God, and whose greatest happiness was her family. Love for them drove all of Lana's activities; her presence will always be found in their laughter, memories, and the values she imparted into their lives.
Lana knew how to touch people words could barely convey. She was strong but soft, sympathetic but resilient. She was a light to others even on her worst days and had grace even when things were tough. Her loved ones find consolation in knowing that she is currently at rest, enveloped in God's everlasting embrace, free from suffering, and sleeping in pure love; her faith never faltered.
Lana's death hurts immeasurably. Far too quickly, a friend, mother, daughter, family member, and friend have been snatched. Birthdays are meant to commemorate life, but Lana's birthday will now serve as a stark reminder of not just the beauty of her life but also the degree of her loss. Still, her family decides to cling to the memories, the love they shared, and the hope that this farewell is not permanent.
During this incredibly trying period, the family of Lana Ayla Smith wants to express their sincere appreciation to the neighborhood for the amazing show of love, prayers, and support. Every contribution, every prayer said, every quiet deed of compassion, and every message felt strongly and gave comfort and strength in the middle of loss. Your empathy has reminded you that Lana was really loved and her life counted greatly.
The family starts the difficult process of leading life without her physical presence and respectfully requests ongoing prayers, particularly for her children who now carry on her legacy. Pray for comfort that only God can give, strength, healing, and peace in the days ahead.
