A friend of our family from our past. We lived on the same county road, rode the same school bus, Teegarden and Tyner. Fond memories of her family. Our love and prayers to the family.

I haven't known Laverne very long, but I loved the energy and spirit of love in her voice. I found her to be very sweet. My prayers are with you for your loss.

LaVerne and I grew up together. She just lived down the road from my parents. We had many interesting adventures. She will truly be missed.
