Alane may not have lived within the streets of Agritopia, but she was an essential part of our community's heart and soul. Known for her bright smile, kind hellos, and warm conversations, she made everyone feel special. Alane was the kind of person who lit up the room, whether she was greeting someone with, “Great to see you, sweetie!” or noticing how much a neighbor’s kids had grown. Her passing has left a wave of grief across our community, breaking our collective hearts.

Alane’s absence is felt deeply, and our hearts go out to her family and all those who adored her. She may be gone, but the impact she made on our community will never fade. Rest in peace, dear Alane. You are so very missed.  In honor of Alane, let’s remember that a kind word or a smile can brighten someone’s world in ways we may never fully realize.
