What a beautiful soul , I cherish our visits and your encouragement. I Loved your laugh. Enjoy Heaven.❤️
What a sweet lady she was. She would always wash my glasses when I would stop. She was a wise woman. I miss her voice and always kind words.
LaVonne and Maurice were good neighbors and good friends to my mom and dad, Betty and George Barry. (Mom a Stewart cousin of Maurice). Nancy and Bonnie, many years ago, were on the bus as me (Tim) to our Pisgah school. Thoughts and prayers for LaVonne and her family.
