Dearest Lavon and family: My deepest condolences on your loss. Lavern was one of the nicest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing! He was always a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Mother always said he was one of life's "good guys". I know your hearts must be broken at this time; please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless your family and be strong in the knowledge that one day we will see our loved ones again.
