Don and I will miss my dear Aunt Lavern. She was my mother’s “Baby Sister”. We know she is now with her LORD Jesus and Uncle Boyd, free from pain and troubles. We thank the Lord for her life. Our prayers continue for my cousins and all the family who will also greatly miss this sweet lady.

Lavern was a beautiful lady inside and out. I enjoyed working with her many years ago at Salem 1st Care. She was so fun and such a good cook. Lost touch over the years and was sad for her family to see she had passed, but know she is really living it up in Heaven with her other loved ones and friends. She was a great example of a loving Christian woman. She talked about her husband and children often. Prayer for comfort for her family. I still have one of her handwritten recipes and will cherish it.
