So sorry to learn of Lani’s passing and very sorry for your loss. Regretfully, I was not able to attend today’s Memorial Service. I was a co-worker with Lani at Oakland Public Schools. She always impressed me with the compassion and empathy she demonstrated in serving the deaf and hard of hearing students. Lani only had kind and good words to say about all of the students and staff with whom she worked and she always strongly supported diversity. It was pleasure to know her and a pleasure to work with her. She made everyone’s life the richer. May she rest in peace.
