What a sweet little soul, and what a fighter. I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like Landon affected so many people in his short time here.

  22. I work at the Westside YMCA in the Child Watch room and had a chance to take care of Landon & Lena. I had the pleasure of watching Landon while his dad would work out. You would never know that Landon had cancer. I learned about his cancer diagnosis by listening to WBEE. I would like to offer my condolence to the family. Landon touched a lot of people and I am glad I got to meet him.

  23. Jess, Scott and Miss Lena Beana, My heart is heavy for all of you and may God give you strength to get through the tough times that are still to come at you. You all have been so very strong for Landon, and may all the wonderful memories help you through the sorrows. I send my love especially to Lena, who has also touched my life. Always an Angel. ~Miss Jesslyn (FFC)
