I Lynn,Vince and Family,
I am so sorry to learn that my wonderful and dear friend passed away. She truly was an inspiration. After all these years since she left Utah I still miss her good cooking, especially those Thanksgiving dinners. She was truly a wonderful wonderful person and my whole family loved her dearly and will miss her also. Love to all of you.

I am very sorry for the loss of your mom. I remember Aunt LaVerne as a beautiful woman. Even though I hadn’t seen her in years, I will always know her as my Aunt. May you be comforted in knowing that she is with the King of Kings and that you will see her again on those streets of gold. Your cousin, Rose Mary
Lynne Marie and Caca Pierre – I am sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I have fond memories of her. I remember the days we used to play cards together and always had a good time. I have always refered to her as my sister-in-law and an aunt to my kids. With my deepest sympathy.

Lynne I was so sorry to hear about your mum’s death. I know from first hand knowledge that losing one’s mother is so hard, especially for a daughter. Your mum was always so sweet and so full of love for you and the rest of her family. She talked about you with great love and pride. I hope that knowing that she is not in this world and is now in God’s presence will give you comfort and peace. I feel honored to know your mum and privileged to take care of her at the Center.
