Beverly, Lesa and Kim: I am so sorry about your Mother. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have so many precious memories of my Aunt Lavern. When our family came to visit she always welcomed us with open arms. I remember how she always had sausages, pastries and lots of good food. I can not even count how many domino games we all played, but that is when the fun began. Each day of our lives where blessed to have Lavern in it.
