WE INDEED SO SORRY TO HEAR OF LAVERGNE'S PASSING AFTER TWO MONTH .
I FIRST MET NANA BACK IN 2002 DURING HER VISIT IN KENYA AFRICA. I WAS THEN IN MY PRIMARY SCHOOL ,SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME EVER SINCE CURRENTLY AM ALMOST COMPLETING MY UNIVERSITY . WHILE IN KENYA WE VISITED THE SWEET WATER TENTED CAMP WHERE WE HAD LOTS OF FUN WITH HER AND TOGETHER WITH MY FAMILY, I REMEMBER SHE TAUGHT ME DANCE MOVES. "NANA " YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS, I REMEMBER THE NUMEROUS WORD OF ADVICE NANA YOU GAVE ME WHILE IN SECONDARY SCHOOL TO WORK HARDER AND PUT MUCH EFFORT IN MY STUDIES.
NANA YOU WERE ALMOST INTRODUCING US TO YOUR FAMILY .
TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS I PRAY GOD TO GRANT US LOTS OF PEACE AND ALL POSITIVE DESIRE NANA HAD FOR US TO COME TRUE.
I ASSURE YOU I WILL KEEP THE FAMILY BOND AS YOU WISHED.
NANA YOU WERE JUST THE BEST WE HAVE EVER HEARD.
I LOVED YOU LAVERGNE BUT GOD LOVED YOU MOST. REST IN PEACE NANA.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I've known Mrs. Skorepa since the 1970's,having met her through my friendship with her son, Larry. She was a true woman of Christian faith and she loved life. She always made me feel welcomed in her home, always offering something to eat or drink. She knew I loved to eat. She is now with her Lord Jesus and we will see her again.

We were so sorry to hear of Lavergne's passing. We first met her 29 years ago when we moved in "down the hill" and our daughter Lauren was a playmate to Stephanie. Over the years we have enjoyed the sounds of dance lessons and admired Lavergne as an "Energizer Bunny" whose energy seemed unflagging. She will be missed by many.

I FIRST MET LAVERGNE JUNE 2001 DURING HER VACATION IN KENYA AFRICA. I WAS WORKING IN A SMALL CURIO SHOP AND SHE PROMISED TO SPONSOR ME TO CONTINUE WITH MY EDUCATION SINCE MY PARENT COULDN'T RAISE THE REQUIRED COLLEGE FEE. IT'S THROUGH HER SUPPORT THAT I MADE TO GET A DIPLOMA IN TOURISM,SPANISH AND JAPANESE. I LOVED "NANA" VERY MUCH AS SHE WAS KIND AND INSPIRING. I LOVED YOU LAVERGNE BUT GOD LOVED YOU MOST. REST IN PEACE!!

I had the pleasure of taking tap lessons from LaVergne. She was a delight and we had so much fun performing at different places. What a wonderful lady and fantastic dancer. Wonderful memories of my time in her studio. My sympathy to all the family. She will be missed.

Lavergne was our treasured neighbor for more than 30 years. We will miss our over-the-fence chats. Knowing her was, indeed, a real pleasure. Our thoughts are with you all.

John and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. We will miss seeing and talking to your mom. We have many memories of living next door and after moving back to the neighborhood, seeing and speaking to her. Her joy in living was always apparent. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs Skorepa when she volunteered at the St Louis County Fair & Air Show. She was truly a lovely lady and we always enjoyed the days she worked with us. Not to mention the times she dropped by just to share some of her yummy kolache cookies. My deepest sympathy to your family.

My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. I have many fond memories of your Mom. She will always be "Miss LaVergne" - the wonderful teacher who taught me ballet. I know she is dancing in heaven right now! Hugs to all of you--
