I’m so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you all. God calls our family members at his discretion to a better place. We share great memories of them till we crossover and meet them again. Until that time, God be with us all.

Renee and Your Kids,
Our deepest sympathies for the passing of your mom. The outstanding sacrifices you constantly made in taking care of her, especially over these last few years, went beyond what anyone could have done. Your mom's wishes and desires, along with your love for her, were always your driving forces and you excelled at keeping her in her own home until her last breath! It was a rough and long journey, Renee, but you won the battles for her that she was fighting so hard. Such a blessing that you were with her in her last moments! Be proud and smile because you were there for her ALWAYS! She is finally resting in peace now and may you always remember how much she loved and appreciated you, too!
With Love,
Linda & Harry Henningsen

We extend our deepest sympathies for the Lattyak family. May you take comfort in knowing she is in God’s care now.
Irene started out as our neighbor in 1996, soon became our friend, and over the course of the years became family. We hold such fond memories of Irene. She will always have a special place in our hearts!
