LaVelle's family would like to thank her extended family at Colonial Residence for their dedication as well as Dr. Loren Cooper. They provided mom with loving care and dignity. Our words cannot express the gratitude we feel in our hearts.
We thank you Mom, for your guidance and wonderful sense of humor. You had a strong and capable spirit and provided us with endless devotion.
At our mother's request, there will be no services.
