I was so sad to hear of Lavernes passing. I had a really nice talk with her after my mom died. She was (as you know) one of Bettys best friends.and we always appreciated her friendship and visits to mom at the VA. Our families had some great fun together on the St.Croix and other gatherings. She will be dancing in heaven with Betty & Bob and I know it will be alot livelier with her there! So very sorry for your loss. Love and sympathy to you all.

Deepest sympathy to Richard and his family. I met Laverne several times and we talked art and family. I thought she was a gracious lady with a wonderful smile. I am only a neighbor that wants to send my condolences to Rich and his family. Joanie Miller Grey Cloud Island
