I wish this Blog could be an on-going list of "Happy moments and stunning victories" - Life does not work that way. It is with that in mind that we all join All of their extended family and Friends and wish Lanny and Sheila, all the strength and goodwill possible.
The truth is, the pressures and obligations of Day-to-Day life, coupled with the distance between Chicago and Texas, have conspired to keep us from spending the time and being a better resource, a greater help. I do feel bad that over the years we have not spent the amount of time I would have like to be able to spend. I speak for the whole Chicago-side of the family when I say that I would love to be able to watch you perform with your comedy troupe.
Yes, Facebook does provide some degree of communication; but clearly it falls short of actually being in the same room.
All I can say is that my heart goes out to you, Lanny and the whole Cooper/Wilk family

As I look at the vast out-pouring of Love and respect that so many are sending your way, it is a clear testament to the joy and happiness that you have brought into the world.
I don't know what to say, no words can express how badly I feel.
My heart goes out to you.
Sheila, We are praying for all of you. We are forever linked, and your pain is our pain.
Larry, Ilene and Lane

For Lanny
This is NOT how this story was suppose to end.
If I was a Hollywood director, I would send it back for a "Re-Write"!
You fought the battle-hardened warriors, and slew the dragon. You fought with courage, dignity and humor. You were able to draw on the Love and support of your family and friends, while at the same time you gave back as much Love as you received.
NO! No this was not how the story should have turned out at all.
To any who might read this post I assume I am adding nothing that is not well known, and already said, often with greater eloquence.
The Laughter you spread will continue in the memories of all who remember a joke you told them. The Love of your family is absolute and eternal. There is a hole that is so deep it can never be filled, but the wonderful memories that each of us carefully places in that space will create a living monument.
The brief candle burns, and all to quickly the wick reaches it's end; but to the extent that one can continue to have influence and give meaning- the light continues. To those who's life you touched, that light will continue to burn bright.
