My sincerest sympathies to all of the Myers family. Many memories of Coleen and family growing up. I know that she will be sorely missed by all who knew her and were touched by her life. As ever,

Dearest Myer Family,

The many years we spent as "across the road" neighbors will never be forgotten. Such fond memories. My sympathy to all of you on your loss. Did she ever tell you that my mom believed she was an angel? Something happened when mom was in the hospital shortly before she passed away and Lavona came to visit. I don't know what happened, but Lavona took care of it and my mom was so thankful that she was there and deemed her an angel. We all know now that she truely is.



Love to all,

Bonnie (Glick) Conner

You have our sympathy in the loss of Lavona (which we learned of in the online version of the Journal-Gazette.) You may remember us (many years ago) living north of Roanoke. Our children were Roger and Bonnie. We now live near Bonnie in New York state.
