Our family's home,she helped my brothers thru a very rough time when my mother was in the hospital for 9 months with open heart surgery and so many other stresses,my brothers use to come home talking about about miss luanne .When I met her for the first time. I knew why they loved her,what a sweetheart,she was loved by all that knew her I'm sure, and will be missed by many .

The world was a better place with LuAnn in it. She leaves behind so many wonderful memories and people who loved her. I grew up with LuAnn and am so honored that she continued to call me her best friend. She was a dear person to me, and I am so grateful she was in my life. Wishing her family peace during this difficult time.
