I remember Etheldra as my junior high and high school classmate at Randolph and Maggie Walker schools, along with Padine Williams and Lindsay Bryant. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family in this time of their bereavement. May God continue to bless you and keep you.

I worked with Laverne at Wyeth and was so sad to hear of her passing. She was so funny and kindhearted too....I'll always remember how patient she was with me when I was learning a new job...I can still see her sitting in my cube waiting for me to come back so she could tell me what I did wrong! She always made a joke out of it and never made me feel bad. Such a sweetheart!
She will be missed on this earth.
My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

To Laverne's family and friends, she will be missed by all. She spoke of you often and you could hear the love in her voice. Her laughter and smile always brightened my day when I worked with her at Wyeth. May your wonderful memories get you through this difficult time. God Bless.

I have only known "Sistar" a short period of time, but found her to be such a pleasant person, always with a smile.

Keep your heads towards the hills which give you strength and my deepest condolences are extended to you at this time of sorrow.

Mrs Morgan, Tony, Kim and Family
I had the pleasure of working with Laverne at Wyeth and I can tell you that she was one of a kind, she could always make you laugh, was a good worker and a great friend. She will truley be missed. She called me her sister because she said I cooked like a sister. She always said that if she'd die today, that she had no regret because she loved her family and friends and made the most of every minute on this earth. She is now with heavenly father and is the life of the party. I'm so sorry for your loss.
