Laverna was perhaps the most beautiful person inside and outside whom I ever had the privilege of knowing. She left us way too soon.

I cant stop crying. I cant believe you are gone. You were God's gift to us here on this earth. You were such a wonderful and loving person. I am going to miss you so very much. We had work to do Laverna. I ... I will never meet someone like you again. You were one of a kind. I will NEVER forget about you! .... and I wont forget what all you said to me.
