Though Lannie’s left, her legacy lives on. On her funeral in Sunday afternoon, we witnessed beautiful stories shared by her beloved husband Jon Lu, her son Jay, and her friends. We all knew how Lannie had fought against cancer with all her strength in the past 2 and an half years. Yet who would've imagined facing death, Lannie had compiled highlights of her life in a photo slide presentation to be remembered in her own funeral! Lina at the request of Lannie brought the slides alive. At the end when she said "good-bye all" on Lannie's behalf, it brought tears to everyone's eyes. "Yesterday’s service was so beautiful and personal – I could feel Lannie’s presence throughout, and I, too, will remember it always. She was such a gentle, caring and beautiful spirit – words cannot bring that back, but they do help us to share our feelings", said Susan Johanson, a colleague and friend at Olin College where Lannie had worked. The funeral was attended by more than 300 people. It was followed by a reception.
