"Dick, Ginny, Vicki, Barb, Shelly and your entire family. Our deepest sympathy to all. Sorry to hear about LaVern's passing. She always had a smile on her face and I'll always remember her and Uncle Wally with making their carmel popcorn. "

"A lifetime of wonderful examples she left for us all. Special memories for me in my first 11 yrs. when we all were in the same house and the two Moms worked together at raising their families in the same space and never a cross word to each other. What a blessing you were, Renee to take time every day to stop to see her and Rosanne always calling."
