We just learned of Laverne’s passing. She was our neighbor in Warner Robins for many years. Such a thoughtful, loving and kind lady. We treasure our memories of her. Our three daughters adored her. Praying for you all. Bus and Linda

What a fresh breath of love to have known you. I am thankful for your warm acceptance joining our family. You loved my daughter Sylvia as I do your son Edward, I was given the pleasure of meeting and loving you. Your laughter was deep and made everyone rejoice, I love your southern tang that Edward spoke between you! You sent your pound cake that everyone tried to get a slice. Edward made sure he hide half away from the crowd. You were a strong God loving mother, grandmother, and friend. I thank God for knowing such a beautiful friend and soul. Your memory remains to give us hope, faith, and love. May God wrap His arms around you in peace and rest. Love you, Mary Darby
