Condolence from Angela Everhart on July 7th, 2014 10:08 pm

Grandma Laverne was an amazing grandma. She wasn’t my blood but accepted my brother Paul and I as her real grandchildren. She accepted my mom as a daughter. She thought me how to feed a calf with a bottle. She brought such love to everyone she came across. I love you grandma.

Condolence from Cordelia Leathers on July 7th, 2014 11:13 pm

My grandma…….when somebody would worry about her she would never worry and just worry about the good things happening in the present .whenever someone would be unhappy she could always bring a smile to their face. She always had stories to tell. She was a great cook. She was a wonderful grandma. Now she can be another one of my guardian angels along with my nini. I love you grandma. This still doesn’t seem real that your gone. Please watch over my daddy.

Condolence from Patti Wright on July 8th, 2014 8:00 am

Fay, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family . Laverne was such a “Great” friend to me . She was always there for me. She always had the best outlook on life. She could always come up with the best “sayings” at the best time and we would laugh or cry. She would always say, When you down to nothing, God’s up to something….give me patience’s but I want it right now. I have such great memories of the four of us , we have had some really great times together. Laverne was a “special ” lady and will be in my heart forever. She is not in pain anymore and is in a better place. She now has her “wings” and she is still watching over us all. My friend will truly be missed .. I love you.

Condolence from George and Pam Long on July 8th, 2014 10:39 pm

Faye and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. LaVerne was such a wonderful and upbeat person and always had a smile on her face. It seemed like yesterday that LaVerne was telling you to come in and eat while George was trying to talk you into baling our hay. We truly miss you and all your family. May God wrap his arms around each of you through this difficult time.

Love you all,
George & Pam Long
