Friend, inspiration, and mentor Lani Randall of Rocking Horse Jewelry passed away today after a long battle with cancer. Lani is the lady that made Caroline’s and my wedding rings. Over the years we helped Lani with her website and in return, she lavished us with gifts, from handmade Buffalo moccasins and jewelry for Caroline to a Navajo drum for me. Lani will forever be in our hearts.
That was a lovely tribute to a wonderful friend as I choose to remember her it is a great picture
I am so sorry that I didn’t get a chance to go back and visit Lani more often. I have been thinking about her a lot lately so I search the internet to find out what happened to her since I last saw her. All I can say is that she truely was a wonderful person. I workrd with her and Kevin for years drawing all the beautiful Navajo jewelry for her trade marks and advertising.
I learned so much about the jewelry from her and I gained so many beautiful pieces from her collection. She had a wonderful free spirit, and she fought her cancer like a true worrior. She loved life and her family was everything to her.
She was a dear friend and will will truely miss her.

I too have been thinking of Lani lately. Haven’t seen her since 2002 but knew her since the 70’s. My former husband, Larry, a jeweler did business with her and Kevin back then, hence the long time friendship. I loved this lady. Such a beautiful, warm, caring person, she was. She has touched many lives with her love. It saddens me to find out she has passed. Yes she will truly be missed.
