The community of the Isle of Man was really depressed when they heard about the tragic loss of Lan Harrop, who was remembered for his soft spirit and acts of kindness.
The spread of Lan’s death shook the neighbors and friends who say the island already feels “a little dimmer” without them. Those close to the deceased are yet to release the full information; the loss was deeply felt across all areas.
Lan’s family said they had a golden gem for noticing people. They shared memories of when the names of shop clerks asked about their families, and often placed encouraging notes inside their mailboxes for friends who had a tough week. A resident in the neighborhood said she always kept a small bag of peppermints in their pocket, giving them to children who walked by their gate.
The deceased had compassion beyond simple gestures. She was friends with people who were heavy-hearted, and was known for paying attention to people without judging them and sharing thoughtful, steady comfort. Her serene environment made others feel safe and valued.
People have honored her by sharing hashtags on all online social networks. The relatives have asked for privacy as they mourn the death, and information about funerals will be dispersed as soon as it is available. The footprint Lan dropped is one founded in love, generosity, quiet, and unwavering care.
