Dear Hughand Family, I was so saddened to learn about LaVelle. I have so many wonderful memories of out times at Cool Springs and on the basketball team. We spent so much time together as neighbors and did some pretty crazy things. I will never forget her beautiful smile and caring heart. My love and sympathy to you all.

what a woman we had so much fun on Thursday at the botique. Not much work on that day but a lot of laughs. The last thurs. she worked she kissed me goodbye and said I'll see you on the other side.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. My prayers are with you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Her smile could light up a room, I'm sure it's lighting up Heaven at this very moment! What a fighter, what a woman!!

Dr. Avant, I just talked to Mom and Dad on the phone and they told me about LaVelle. We are so sorry to hear about her passing. I've thought about both of you fondly over all these years and wondered how both of you were. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Take care,

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Find comfort in knowing the legacy of strength and courage and grace that she left behind is admired by everyone whose lives she touched even in the the most minute ways.

Dear Hugh and Family,
I have never forgotten LaVelle over the years. She was a good friend in High School, as was her brother Ted. I am so sorry for your loss and wish we could have talked more over the years. I will never forget her smile and her dimples, and her humor. Bless you all.

Hugh,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. She was a wonderful lady. Our thoughts are with you & your family.

We felt a special gift was given to us when we met her only a few years ago, and we were instant friends. We will really miss her Hugh, and at this time we are praying God gives you a strong peace, knowing that He is holding her in His arms. He also feels your pain and wants you to feel His love for you as He will continue to walk with you through all the days ahead.
We will see you in October. Blessings, Bill and Karen Myers

LaVelle was one of those rare, extraordinary people who had the knack of making you appreciate all of the wonderful things in this life. I never once heard her complain about ANYTHING, and she enriched my life with her friendship. I think she was the bravest person I have ever known. My heartfelt prayers go out to Hugh, Sondra and the grandchildren. I wish them comfort in their time of grief, and Godspeed to LaVelle as her pain has ended and she rests comfortably in the arms of the Lord.
