Lavergne, Lynn and Basich Family, I have so many wonderful memories of Pastor Tom and Advent Lutheran. The foundation of my faith began at Advent with Pastor Tom. It was the Lord and his church (Pastor Tom & Advent) that gave my mother the strength to support her 3 children after the death of our father at a young age. May your wonderful memories and God's Peace & Love carry you through the coming days. With heartfelt sympathy, Barbara Axtell O'Neill

Lavergne & Family,
We are so thankful for the wonderful memories. Even though you are in Minnesota and we stayed in the Chicago area, the friendship and love has always remained. Tom & Bertil are now up in heaven rejoicing - together again. Love to all of you. The Johnson Family

Dear Basich Family - So many ceremonies presided by Pastor Tom and Pastor Matthew for myself and other members of my family and of course the many lessons at Sunday school provided by Lavergne for my daughter Natasha and son, Ryan. I was confirmed, married, and had both of my children baptized at Advent. It is a wonderful church with wonderful people. I'm sorry to hear about Pastor Tom and my heartfelt sympathies are with you all.
