"Lavon and I went to elementary, jr high and high school for a bit. I would come to her house after school and we'd eat cookies and have so much fun together. She was only a year older than me but she was like a big sister. I will always remember her beautiful spirit and her smile which rarely left her face. RIP my dear, dear sister friend. Light, peace and progress to your soul. To her family; her mom, sisters, her son, her grandkids and everyone who loved Lavon, I pray the memories of her will keep you at peace. Love to you all."
