  1. CandleLanetta. Your big smile and open heart is embedded in my mind when I think of you. I will always cherish our break room chats, some silly and some serious. It was such a pleasure to get to know you. Que dios te bendiga en tu nueva vida🙏🏽

  2. CandleThank you Lanetta for showing me what it looks like to have strength and faith in the Lord no matter the circumstance’s. You will be missed!

  3. CandleAuntie you know my heart is broken 😞 but I know you will alway be with me. I cannot find the right words but you know I love you and I can’t wait to see you again. I’ll be waiting for you in my dreams!

  4. CandleDearest Lanetta,
    It’s crazy to think you’re not right down the freeway anymore. You were such a light to so many children. “Ms Banana”. So many people are going to come find you when they get to heaven to tell you how much your smiles and humor lit up their days knowing you. And, knowing you, you probably entered into the Father’s arms with a joke that made Him laugh as he welcomed you in. You are already greatly missed. Love Tonie

  5. CandleYou have always been a bright light to all who knew you. Your beautiful smile and positive attitude have touched so many. Everyone who had the pleasure to work with you were totally blessed. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.
    Love, Patti Lucero

  6. CandleSis Netta, you were more than a friend of the family, you WERE family and you will for ever be. We were truly blessed when you came into our lives and we thank you for all the love and laughter you shared with us. May you RIParadise. Love you always.

  8. CandleMy gurl, Nettaret, so hard to believe your gone. We were just talking and laughing a few weeks ago. You were truly one of the kindest, funniest people that I knew, for whatever reason God crossed our paths, I’m forever grateful. I’ll never forget you dear sister . It’s gonna be so hard not being able to call you and hear that voice on the other end saying Tracy Louise . I know you will have everyone up there hiking and laughing all the time. I’ll miss you sister and I know we will meet again ..❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

  9. CandleWow I will miss our weekend talks and laughter we always had you were a great Sister in Law and the BEST FRIEND EVER!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FROM NOW AND TO ETERNITY

  10. CandleMy dearest BFF Netta, I’m glad that I got to spend time with you on your last few days and celebrating your birthday everyday until the very last. We still have a lot of trips planned together but I know you’ll be there when I do make that journey. I’m not saying goodbye because you will always be by my side. 😘

  11. CandleWhat a blessing to have met and worked at Happy Bear Forest with you for six years before I moved to NE. Even then there were happy get together times to talk over dinner or just eat ice cream at McDonalds when I’d returned to visit my family. I love the precious memories of seeing you interact so caringly with those children 2-years-old. There you would be holding hands and/or just dancing around singing and laughing, or sitting on the floor reading stories or at other times comforting a crying child whose parent had just left— knowing she/he would be safe in you loving care! Thank you for touching so MANY lives of ALL AGES. Thank you for being YOU!
