I am saddened Paul by your loss. Laverne and I grew up together in Prentis Park section of Portsmouth and went to school together. We are now planning our 50th high school reunion and had most probably already mailed her a notice. She was a wonderful lady and service oriented to the needy. May God bless you and your family.

Vern was another mother to me and was ALWAYS there when I needed her. I cherish my memories of her and will especially miss her silliness. She always had a way of making me chuckle.
