Lani passed away last night at 11:30pm.

It was very peaceful, her breathing just slowed until it stopped. It was a relief to see her let go.

Everything happened so fast. I cannot express how painful and heartbreaking this is for me. My mum and I were so close. I am thankful I was able to suit up and show up for her at this time and have no regrets about doing all I possibly could for her comfort while she died. She was a creative force of color and light and the world is less bright with her gone. I am grateful to have the love and support of all of you friends and family. Please share any stories or photos or memories you have of her with me. I have her phone and email if you wish to reach me that way. I will continue to post things here as they arise. One day when things open up we will have a gathering to celebrate her and all she shared with us.

Love, Luisa
