Aunt Lavenia was so special to my family. She was an exceptional cook and I remember her kindness and affection for us. I remember going to their house when I was a kid and always had a great time! She will be missed by our bunch! Prayer to all my cousins!

We had the privilege of living across the street from Mrs. Robertson for ten years. She was the first person to welcome my family to the neighborhood. Every Christmas Mrs. Robertson would bring us her delicious brownies! My children were always welcome in her home. She was a kind, generous person who cared about others. She was a dear neighbor and friend to my family. We were richly blessed to have known her! We love you Mrs. Robertson! May you rest in peace!
