I am so thankful Laverne and I were able to "reconnect" about a month prior to her promotion to heaven. It had been many years since we had spoken or seen each other. Our last conversation was filled with a discussion of memories, laughter and thankfulness that we were able to once again chat. I thank God for giving us that gift. My Prayers for comfort are with her family and friends. May the Lord give you abundant peace and bring to mind wonderful memories full of joy and laughter. ( I would love to reconnect with other family and friends I have lost contact with and share memories of Laverne. My email is: [email protected])
