Grand Dam Lana

Lana, the mother of Patience, Tommy, Valerie and Vanna, grandmother to Stella, Tinkerbell and Twinkle, great grandmother of Tecumseh and those are only the ones who are alive and remain here. Lana survived the winter, only to wither away this spring. She had successfully weaned her last two kids, but was unable to regain her strength. Rather than let her suffer, I promoted her myself, and she lies entombed in the dam of the pond from which she drew water. She was a special goat, one I don't mind calling a friend. She is missed. Her daughter Patience has assumed the mantle of Grand Dam. Her passing merits its own post.
