I have never met such a loving and selfless person. Lavonia will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Ben, Sorry to hear about your mother. They were mainstays at Gaston. They contributed so much to our "raisin." What a legacy you have. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Psalms 91:14-16 (KJV) 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Dear Ben & Weslynn, I didn't ever get to meet Lavonia, but feel as though I did, through your descriptions of her and your relationship with her throughout your lives. What a lovely testament to her that was and what a lasting legacy she has left to you and your family. I will be keeping you close in thought and prayer. Love, Paula
