I will always remember the family reunions and the times we had together! Lavina was always going out of her way to make sure everybody was well taken care of – she put everybody elses needs before her own. What a kind, caring, and loving women she was – she will be missed by many. My heart goes out to each of you at such a difficult time – I’m so sorry!!! May your own hearts be eased from the pain and sorrow with the cherished memories you have of such a wonderful women!!!
