    Our hearts and prayers go out to this wonderful family.  We have so many happy memories of the years we spent in Roseland.  The LaBanca family was the same as our own family.  Lon was a good man.  He will be missed. 

    God bless you all with the health and strength to get through this loss at such a difficult time.
