I feel so blessed to know the Doyle family. They are full of love and compassion, and now I know where they inherited it from. May Lavina rest in peace.

Paul, I never met Lavina but you were always one of my favorite GCCCD board members. I wanted you to know that many at Grossmont College felt that you were even-handed and pro-education. We looked on you as a friend and so your loss is something we also feel. I hope that you'll continue to feel welcome as part of our retiree community and know that all of us hurt for your loss.

Hi Paul,
I was so sorry to hear about Lavina. I missed the obituary, but Mary Kinyon told me about it last night. I know it is a difficult loss, you had many good years together. Hope the future holds more good years for you and I hope we'll be seeing each other.
Sincerely,

Dan and family,
I was not able to meet your Mom, but I do know she raised a very nice son in Dan.
My Mom passed a year ago from the very same illness. Now your Mom is in a better place where she can remember everything she had forgotten in recent times.
Thinking of you,

Paul and family: My mom & send our deepest condolences to you. Lavina was a wonderful person. We enjoyed her company at the cardio pulmonary class that we all attended. Everyone is going to miss really really bad. Please hang in there and take care. When I read her obituary, I started to cry. Our best regards to everyone.

Sincerely,

Ruth & Ira Sigal

P.S. The cardio pulmonary class through Alvarado Hospital was closed permanently by the hospital on 9-29-10. is
