Brother Clyde, may God bless and comfort each one of you as only He can. Mrs. Lavonne was a dear friend and I will miss our conversations. She had the sweetest giggle that would make my heart smile. Her honesty, compassion and love for her family and friends were just a few of many traits that made her shine for Christ. All our love and prayers, Steve and Charlotte Liles
