Greg and Becky, Tim and I truly hate to hear of Laverns passing. We have many wonderful memories of all of us at the pool, having cookouts, and eating her famous Blackberry cobbler. She always has and will have a special place in our hearts! She always treated us as her own and we never forgot her for that. Sincere condolences, Tim and Allison Ford
